The Ovation Celebrity Elite Plus series builds on the classic multi-soundhole instrument design of the Celebrity Elite guitars, upgrading them with select figured tops, beautiful abalone appointments and first-rate sound, style and features.

The Celebrity Elite Plus CE44P guitar has the classic mid-depth Lyrachord cutaway body with a Padauk top featuring the Elite multi-soundhole design, which provides clear highs and focused balanced bass response. For the top's quartersawn scalloped "X" bracing, Ovation reviewed earlier bracing patterns extensively and arrived at a remarkable design that borrows from the past and is voiced for the present, with natural tone and optimal response and power.

Together, body, top and soundholes create the classic Ovation Elite sound, resonating with full projection, remarkable note clarity and balance, and nuanced tonal complexity. The top also has elegant multi-wood epaulets, black binding, abalone purfling and a beautiful gloss finish.

Other premium features include an effortlessly playable satin-finish neck with black binding, 10"-radius rosewood fretboard with 20 fully accessible frets (24 frets for high E string) and abalone inlays, and a rosewood bridge. For great live sound, the CE44P features an Ovation Slimline pickup and OP-4BT preamp system.

I only play for my own pleasure at home and wanted to get a quality guitar without breaking the bank. I took my time looking at features, reviews, prices, and, yes, looks. I'll admit that I'm the kind of person who will not buy a guitar if it has no visual appeal. After about 2 weeks of research, I decided on this instrument. Let me say, I am very, very pleased. Wow - right out of the box this guitar just took my breath away. The quality of the build is outstanding. And the sound it produces is equally amazing. Clear and bright, very articulate and rich. I have not played it plugged in, but can only imagine that it will only amplify the wonderful tones I am getting acoustically. The cutaway and fast neck only add to the pleasures of playing this instrument. This is my first Ovation, but it certainly won't be my last,
