Product Description

The Celebrity Standard Plus series is your first step into the world of Ovation, with select figured tops, beautiful abalone appointments and first-rate sound, features and value. The Celebrity Standard CS28P-RG guitar has the classic Super Shallow bowl Lyrachord cutaway body with a striking Figured Koa top featuring quarter sawn scalloped “X” bracing. We reviewed earlier Ovation bracing patterns extensively to arrive at this remarkable new design, which borrows from the past and is voiced for the present with natural tone and optimal response and power. Together, the body and top create the classic Ovation sound, resonating with full projection, remarkable note clarity and balance, and nuanced tonal complexity. The Quilted Maple top also has an elegant abalone rosette, ivory white binding and beautiful Natural gloss finish. Other premium features include an effortlessly playable neck with a natural satin finish and rosewood-veneer headstock, 20-fret bound rosewood fretboard with abalone microdot inlays, and a rosewood bridge. For great live sound, the CS28P-RG features an Ovation Slimline pickup and OP-4BT preamp system with three-band EQ, volume/gain control, onboard tuner and low-battery light.

From the Manufacturer

For the player who loves the performance of the Ovation Celebrity Collection, but is looking for an even more inspiring thing of beauty- the Celebrity Standard Exotic is calling your name. The only thing "Standard" is the traditional center soundhole design. Gorgeous exotic woods and stunning finsihes set these instruments apart visually, while pro design and playability sets them apart for the player. An effortlessly playable satin-finished neck, the Super Shallow slim profile, and the 10" radius fretboard combine to make these guitars noteworthy. The center-cut soundhole offsets the shallower body by giving back loud resonance and projection thanks to the scalloped-X bracing support. For live performance, the Celebrity Standard includes an Ovation Slimline pickup and OP-4BT preamp system with a three-band EQ and onboard tuner. Feel is almost everything for progressing players, and the Celebrity Standard Exotic Collection in Super Shallow delivers more than a series of guitars that feel right...they look amazing.
