Looking for an entry-level for young players? Thanks to its mid-depth cutaway shape, the Ovation CS24 is comfortable to hold.

The Celebrity Standard series is your first step into the world of Ovation, with first-rate sound, style, features and value.

The Ovation Celebrity Standard CS24-5 guitar has the classic mid-depth Lyrachord cutaway body with a solid spruce top featuring quartersawn scalloped X bracing. Ovation reviewed their earlier bracing patterns extensively to arrive at this remarkable design, which borrows from the past and is voiced for the present with natural tone and optimal response and power. Together, body and top create the classic Ovation sound, resonating with full projection, remarkable note clarity and balance, and nuanced tonal complexity.

The spruce top also has an elegant pearloid rosette, ivory white binding and beautiful gloss Black finish. Other premium features include an effortlessly playable neck with a black satin finish and black headstock veneer, 20-fret bound rosewood fretboard with pearloid microdot inlays, and a rosewood bridge.

For great live sound, the CS24-5 features an Ovation Slimline pickup and OP-4BT preamp system with three-band EQ and volume/gain control.

First thing. I ordered this guitar on a Tuesday afternoon with the regular free shipping. The guitar arrived on Wednesday. The NEXT day. I mean it does not get better than that even for more money. Thank you guys. The guitar arrived well packaged and protected. The finish is black and without a single blemish. The guitar itself for an entry level model made in China in not at all bad. Neck was perfectly straight to the eye and feel. Action is good. Maybe a tiny bit high, but certainly more than playable. Sound is decent. Not as good as on their higher end models, but the best I encountered in the under 400 price range I was shoping. Only real negative was the onboard tuner. Not even close to as accurate as my inexpensive Planet Waves chromatic. Even at that, the onboard would probably be okay for casual noodling around. Overall very happy with product and you cannot beat the 4pay deal.
