Description
The Ovation CE48-1 Celebrity Elite pairs classic Ovation engineering with the kind of playability that makes long sets and late-night practice sessions feel effortless. Built on Ovation’s super shallow Lyrachord® composite body, it sits comfortably against you whether you’re standing at a mic or working through chords on the couch, and the composite shell delivers a tight, crisp tone with plenty of projection to cut through a live mix.
Up top, a solid Sitka spruce soundboard does the tonal heavy lifting, while Ovation’s distinctive multi-soundhole design — accented by laser-cut epaulets — opens up clear, detailed highs alongside a bass response that stays focused rather than boomy. The result is that signature Elite voice: articulate, well-balanced, and full of nuance whether played fingerstyle or with a pick.
The neck is finished in satin for a fast, friendly feel, and it’s paired with an Ovangkol fretboard and bridge for smooth, responsive playability across the fretboard. The whole instrument wears Ovation’s classic sunburst finish, giving it a timeless look to match its timeless tone.
Plugging in is just as thoughtful as the acoustic design. The Slimline pickup works alongside an OP-4CT preamp system, giving you a three-band EQ, volume/gain control, an onboard tuner, and a low-battery indicator so you’re never caught off guard mid-set. Whether you’re playing a church stage, a coffeehouse gig, or just jamming in the garage, the CE48-1 is built to deliver reliable, expressive amplified acoustic tone night after night.
