Ovation CS24-RR Celebrity Standard Mid-Depth Cutaway,Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Ruby Red

Beautiful finish on the wood. Neck construction is flawless - very smooth and VERY solid. The Celebrity logo at the very top of the neck is done with raised lettering and is very elegant. The tuning keys sport an Ovation brand stamp on them (different than my first Ovation which used an outsourced manufacturer). The sound on this guitar is beautiful with the right strings. The strings that come with it do not sound as good as the Elixir 11's that I usually get. When I changed the strings out to the Elixir's, it sounded so much better. Finally, Ovation includes shims underneath the lower bridge so that you can adjust the action of the strings. After taking most of them out, the action was nice and low, and with the .11 strings, there was no vibration against the frets at all. For the price, you can't beat this guitar in terms of sound quality, action and durability because of the polymer back of the guitar. My first Ovation is 16 years old and has no damage at all in spite of being handled all over the place and in every place.

There's a short somewhere. I plug it in to the amp, and I get a terrible distortion. I take the battery out, and the distortion stops. I can't play it through the amp.

Been playing since I was 12. Acoustics, 12 strings, Electrics. All kind of brands. The price and quality of this guitar is excellent! Plugged or unplugged sounds good. Action is excellent and could be adjusted. Beautiful sound and tone. I would say, its just as good, or better than the other top seller guitars out there! Don't hesitate to buy it. You won't be disappointed.

Great guitar at a reasonable price. Has a good deep sound, but can be twangy enough when you want that too. And I like the way if feels with the rounded body. It's comfortable, not boxy like many acoustics. And it has a built-in tuner which is so handy. I'm not a fulltime musician, so this is a perfect guitar for me.

Bought this mainly for recording as it actually record quite well with the built in pickups. Good action and plays well. My only complaint is the it does not include and type of case or strap. You get a guitar in a cardboard box and that’s it. It used to be kind of expected that when you purchased a new guitar it came with some sort of carrying case and a strap but I guess those days are over. All item sold separately. Hey, it came with strings on it so at least there’s that

I initially bought this as a beater guitar for playing in places where I don't want to bring a higher end axe. After a professional setup it's play and sound rivals that of my American made Ovation Legend. Amplified with a little EQ, reverb, and a smidge of delay, it fits in seamlessly with our acoustic act. It's easy on the eyes too. Pretty good for a made in China guitar

Level – Advanced beginner Target Price Point - $300.00 - $400.00 I wanted a guitar that I could relax and practice in an over-sized chair. I almost pulled the trigger on a Yamaha APX600, but it didn’t feel or sound right. The Ovation was just what I’d been looking for in price, play-ability, and comfort. No setup was necessary. Came with some real nice strings. Action is just right for me. I love picking it up each night.

I'm not really an aficionado of Acoustic Guitars, having mostly played electrics throughout my years but I have had a little bit of history with acoustics. I owned one of those Yamaha CPX Electro Acoustics back in the day...paid a small fortune for it too - £669, if memory served me right - but it should have been £999 at the time, so a deal! It sounded good, played good but was a bit of a handful.... Coming forward some 18 years or so, on the look out for an acoustic I figured that I would have a look at the Ovation collection. Being a HUGE Bon Jovi fan, back in the days in which they were interesting, perhaps swayed that decision! So, the Celebrity arrived, via Germany no less, within a week and it was exciting getting it out of the boxes - yes, boxes! First impression was that it was small in comparison with my old Yamaha, it had the resin bowl back, of course, and had a lovely neck. The 3 band EQ works well and it's quite eye opening just how different the sound can be through an amplifier.....but, moreover, it played great without the amp, had quite a big projection and fits well both sitting down and standing up. For the price? Just over £300 ? I'm pretty amazed. It sounds better than my old Yamaha too. Glad I bought it...and isn't that the main thing about anything we buy? Treat yourself...
