The Celebrity Traditional is the heart of the Ovation lineup: the classic center-soundhole roundback in the tier that gets gigged every weekend. The Ovation Celebrity Elite E-Acoustic Classic Guitar CE44C-4A, Natural Gloss is that instrument. This one wears Natural Gloss.
The Roundback, Traditional Style
The body is a mid-depth Lyrachord bowl, Ovation's one-piece molded composite shell. No seams to work loose, no back to crack in a dry winter, and a parabolic curve that reflects string energy forward instead of trapping it in corners. The center soundhole keeps the classic look and the familiar acoustic behavior. The soundboard is a solid cedar top, carried on scalloped, quartersawn X-bracing that lets the top move freely while the braces hold their shape for decades.
Sound and Electronics
The roundback voice is articulate and immediate, with a focused low end that stays defined inside a band mix. Amplified, the Ovation Slimline Pickup, OP4BT Preamp with tuner pairs with the Ovation Slimline Pickup, OP4BT Preamp with tuner: shape your tone at the guitar, tune silently between songs, and plug into any PA or interface with confidence.
Playability
Scale 650 mm/25.6", nut width 48 mm/1 7/8". The bowl's curved back settles against your body without a dreadnought's sharp edge, and the neck carries Ovation's fast, low-effort feel. A cutaway keeps the upper frets in reach.
