Ovation CE44-1 Acoustic-Electric Guitar, 2-Tone Sunburst

The Celebrity Elite series is your first step into the world of Ovation’s classic multi-soundhole instrument design, with first-rate sound, style, features and value.The Celebrity Elite CE44-1 guitar has the classic mid-depth Lyrachord cutaway body with a solid top featuring the Elite multisoundhole design, which provides clear highs and focused, balanced bass response. For the top’s quartersawn scalloped “X” bracing, we reviewed earlier Ovation bracing patterns extensively and arrived at a remarkable new design that borrows from the past and is voiced for the present, with natural tone and optimal response and power. Together, body, top and sound holes create the classic Ovation Elite sound, resonating with full projection, remarkable note clarity and balance, and nuanced tonal complexity. The top also has elegant multiepaulets, black binding and a beautiful Two-color Sunburst gloss finish.Other premium features include an effortlessly playable satin-finish neck, 10”-radius fretboard with 20 fully accessible frets (24 frets for high E string) and pearloid inlays, and a bridge. For great live sound, the CE44-1 features an Ovation Slimline pickup and OP-4BT preamp system with three-band EQ, volume/gain control, on-board tuner and low-battery light.Model Name: Celebrity Elite, Mid-Depth Cutaway, SunburstSeries: Celebrity EliteColor: 2-Color SunburstBody Finish: GlossBody Shape: Mid-Depth CutawayBracing: Quartersawn Scalloped XBody Binding: BlackBody Back: LyrachordRosette: MultiNeck Material: NatoNeck Finish: SatinScale Length: 25.25" (642 mm)Fingerboard Radius: 10" (254 mm)Number of Frets: 20 Fully Accessible; 24 on High E StringString Nut: ABSNut Width: 1.6875" (42.86 mm)Position Inlays: Pearloid DotSpecial Electronics: OP-4BT with Ovation Slimline PickupHardware Finish: ChromeTuning Machines: Chrome Die-CastStrings: D'Addario EXP11 Coated 80/20 Bronze Light Acoustic (.012-.053 Gauges)
