Ovation CC48 Celebrity Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar
The Ovation CC48 Celebrity is a great value for a great sounding guitar. With a super-shallow bowl for maximum playability, the CC48 Celebrity stands out.

What a joy to play and listen to this guitar; get harmonics at the fourth fret, same as my Martin. Have played Ovations for years: this one is the coolest so far.

Playing twenty years, this is my fourth Ovation.

"heavyweight guitar at a lightweight price"
For $400 its reall a no brainer, looks, sound feel, features, all things you would expect from a $1000.00 axe, it should come with a case, raise the price $75 and toss in a medium case, good insurance

sweet

the old roll of your lap thing with any Ovation bowl

"Ovation CC48"
I haven't played this guitar from a standing position as yet, which I've been told will slip around and will be hard to play. There is a accessory for this. The pitch of the guitar is high but nice sounding. The only problem so far is that it doesn't have a pick protector, and this can damage the woodwork.
Musical Background:
Playing for 50 years
Musical Style:
Rock

"IF YOU LOVE MUSIC, YOU'LL LOVE OVATION!!!"
Verified Customer

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
I don't feel there will ever be a reason to buy another Ovation in my life. I take good care of my guitars and this one should last me for the duration. If for some reason my guitar breaks beyond repair, I will simply buy another Ovation. My music style is all over the place, and my Ovation gets me everywhere I want to be with ease.
Sound
Ovation is a company like no other. The style of their guitars is quite unique to say the least. I have played Ovations for some time now and I feel there is no other guitar for just about any style you are looking to play. I play rock/emo/grung/metal/folk and I have always gotten the sound I am looking for out of my Ovation (OVACC48). I do most of my recording in my bathroom for the acoustics and I have to wear earplugs because of how loud Ovations tend to get. For my money or anyones money for that matter, this is the only company you should go through.
Features
Aside from being an amazing guitar by itself, I do feel a case would only make the purchase perfect. Even a chip board case would insure the safety of the guitar. I love guitars with pick-ups. In other words, case or not, this guitar has everything I could ever want in a acoustic guitar.
Ease of Use
This is the kind of guitar you can get any sound you want out it with ease. You can plug it in. Need I say more.
Quality
Ovation guitars are made (in my opinion) very well. Ovation has a long reputation of making only quality products. I have played so many of my friends Ovations, and none of them have ever had any problems. I travel with my guitar all the time and have never worried about damaging it. It's a tough guitar for sure.
Value
For $400 I would never have found another guitar as good as an Ovation. This guitar is worth at least $800 or more.
Manufacturer Support
I haven't had to deal with my warranty, or any other support from Ovation before. My friend had a problem with the leafs around his sound holes. They popped off for some reason (he plays kinda hard) and Ovation was happy to fix his guitar for him.
The Wow Factor
Ovations do something that other makers don't. The look of the guitar is crazy sexy. I own the black OVACC48. My girlfriend loves to listen to me play and says I look great just holding it. In short, if your looking for a death metal look, a rock look, or you just want to look cool with a guitar... Ovation is the only way to go.
Musical Background:
I play and write my own music. Open mic nights are my life.
Musical Style:
Rock/alternative/emo. Think Deftones meets Incubus in a fight over nirvana.
