If you've always wanted to experience the unique design, tone, and playability Ovation offers, the Celebrity Elite Plus CE44X-9B mid-depth acoustic-electric guitar is a wonderful option. The Celebrity Elite Plus combines the traditional Lyrachord body design with a layered exotic quilted maple top for comfortable play and stellar tone. A mahogany neck with an ovangkol fingerboard provides impeccable response and playability, and the deep cutaway gives you access to those higher notes up the neck. When you plug in, an Ovation OP-4CT preamp and OCP100 pickup with 3-band EQ kicks out gorgeous amplified tone.

One-of-a-kind feel and tone





The mid-depth design of the Celebrity Elite Plus translates to an incredibly comfortable playing experience whether you stand or sit. And the contoured back of the Lyrachord design also ensures that this beauty never feels anything less than stellar strapped over your shoulder or resting in your lap. The Lyrachord body is a durable, lightweight alternative to wood backs, and it has a smooth interior surface that is specifically designed to enhance the reflections inside your instrument as well. And the traditional laser-cut epaulets on the layered maple top add to the unique appearance and sonically provide remarkable note clarity.





Onboard OP-4BT preamp





Ovation wrote the book on live acoustic guitar. They were the first company to introduce pickups and preamplifiers in the acoustic guitar, essentially inventing a new instrument. The Celebrity Elite Plus is equipped with an OP-4BT preamp that has /- 12dB control over the bass, midrange, and treble frequencies. In addition, the onboard tuner makes it easy to stay in tune. Ask any guitarist here at Sweetwater: the OP-4BT gives you the tonal control you need onstage.
