Ovation has applied 40 years of guitar making to design an affordable guitar that doesn't sound like an affordable guitar. The Celebrity Deluxe is proof of that. This guitar boasts bigger sound than guitars that cost twice as much.
The Ovation sound. The sound that made the acoustic guitar a viable electric instrument is now within everyone's reach. Multi-soundhole technology made affordable. Using the same unique Ovation Quintad bracing pattern featured on the more expensive Elite models, here's an entry-level acoustic/electric that will continue to earn its keep as your playing skills mature.
Multiple soundholes in the upper bout allow for more efficient bracing and tone contouring. This technique has been perfected over the last two decades on guitars ten times as expensive. Now everyone can own one. Ovation's unique Quintad bracing pattern allows maximum top vibration while maintaining stability. In conjunction with the roundback body, the Celebrity Deluxe produces a robust sound with plenty of tonal cut.
Enjoy the full, rich sound of a 12-string with the comfort and ease of playing that an Ovation can offer. The CS255 has impeccable tonal clarity played both acoustically and plugged into your favorite amp or sound system. With its Spruce top, Super shallow cutaway body style, comfortable "U" shaped neck, gleaming gold tuners and 5-Piece Epaulets , the Ovation Celebrity Deluxe CS255 looks as good as it plays. A bound rosewood fingerboard and a slim 'U' shaped neck make the Celebrity Deluxe one of the easiest-playing guitars in the business. The frets are hand-dressed and the action height is set to "Fast." Electronics include an Ovation Thinline pickup and an OP30 preamp. Rich, bright and super quiet, the OP30 raises the bar in its class. Three bands of eq plus the ability to shift the mid band to either a 450Hz or 970Hz gives you complete control over your sound. There's also a Pre-Shape circuit that not only lifts the bass and treble, but also reduces "rumble" from frequencies below 40Hz. And of course there's an on-board chromatic tuner.
