Ovation Celebrity CC-057

E-mail Print PDF

Ovation Celebrity CC-057"A round-back, shallow bowled, acoustic/electric Ovation guitar."

Price:

Approx. $645 retail value - Approx. $400 at GuitarTrader.com - These are the two prices that I've had experience with personally, and know the quality is still good.

 

Features:

  • S/Shallow Cutaway Body
  • Spruce Top
  • Composite Back/Sides
  • A Bracing
  • Rosewood Fretboard
  • Thinline’s Pickup
  • Chrome Tuners
  • OP20 preamp
(Rating: 7.5 out of 10)

Sound:
The sound is a bit tricky to gauge on this guitar. Unplugged, it lacks the same oomph as a standard acoustic due to the shallow body, but the roundback helps. Plugged in, though, this sounds beautiful, with very little feedback. (Rating: 6.5 out of 10)

Quality:
Very sturdy guitar. It can get knocked around, beat up, and all the other wears and tears, but still come out shining. The top still gets the dents and scrapes as any other, but it takes a pretty rough hit to get one in. (Rating: 9 out of 10)

Reliability:
This guitar is reliable, like any decent guitar should be. It works wonders in gigs, due to a wonderful sound through either electric or acoustic amp. It takes a lot to knock this guitar off its "balance." (Rating: 8 out of 10)

Overall:
Not the greatest guitar on the market, true. But a wonderful guitar if you find yourself travelling a lot, and need a guitar that will get the job done well, with little worry about this guitar failing. Overall, a very nice guitar. (Rating: 7.5 out of 10)
