The Ovation CE44P-FKOA stands out -- both in appearance and in tonal quality -- thanks to its beautiful figured koa top and multi-soundhole design.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Koa top Unique, beautiful look; great tone and clarity
Lyrachord body Clear notes with plenty of projection
Nato neck Smooth feel and a modern tone
Rosewood fretboard Open, warm tone and smooth playing feel

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 stunning Koa 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 love this guitar. I have had many guitars over the years, acoustic and electric, expensive and inexpensive, Martin, Taylor, Breedlove, Gibson, Ibanez, Fender, etc,.... But I always seem to go back to Ovation. This beautiful guitar arrived in two days as promised and was in perfect condition. It was well set and sounds amazing, except I may lower the action a little. I keep my guitars tuned a half step low and will string it with a bit lighter strings, which may take care of the action. Looks like I will always have an Ovation.
