Shown in Ruby Redburst,Available in Natural,Blue Transparent,Black, Plum Burst andCherryburst Quilt FinishesAll Ovations are designed for three senses: touch, sight, and sound. Listen to the astounding tone and projection. Feel the resonance and the action. Set your eyes on a beautifully designed, world-class instrument that combines the age-old science of acoustics combined with computer design and composite materials. Why The Round Back? A long time ago, conventional wisdom said that the world was flat. Not very long ago, acoustic guitar purists believed that guitar backs should be flat as well. Enter the upstarts at Ovation.Guitarmaking is an art. So whatâs with all the science? Itâs true that guitarmaking is an art. But itâs also a science. The ultimate judge is always our ears, but our technology helps us understand exactly why one guitar sounds different from another.Pioneers of the Plug Ovation introduced the first acoustic/electric guitars in 1971. They were an instant success with pros, and a whole new category of instruments was created. It was well over ten years before other guitarmakers offered anything that worked remotely as well as the Ovation pickup/preamp system. ... Read more

Ovation Celebrity Deluxe is THE BEST Electric Acoustic
I purchased my Celebrity Deluxe with a slight cosmetic blemish (a "second") at a very good price.(and there are deals like this to be had right here on Amazon) -It's performance is flawless in every way.The only thing that I have found that some might consider to be a drawback is it's response with lighter gauge strings.I suggest a heavier gauge string set for this guitar to enhance it's cutting through power and take full advantage of the special design that Ovation has been so famous for.I personally use a high "E" of .10 or .11 and find the response to be superb.

If you go for the lighter gauge sets you will notice a much lesser response because I don't really think the Celebrity Deluxe shines nearly as well with them.

The sound shaping capabilities of the built in OP EQ will really surprise you.The tonal changes possible are right off the map in diversity.I am still forever messing with this after five years and am still being astounded with some of the tones this well-made guitar is capable of.

Don't skimp on a case for this guitar.Buy a hard-shell case for it and you will be thanking yourself later.The finish on this guitar is like glass.Even my own blue finished Celebrity Deluxe with it's slight cosmetic blemish catches light wonderfully and makes this guitar a real looker.

The connection jack in the back is something to look after. I have noticed that from time to time it is necessary to tighten it due to connection stress.This is not a problem if you are careful to check it now and then.

The gold plated keys and tuning hardware are truly beautiful.

A friend purchased the lesser Celebrity (the differences between the Celebrity and the Celebrity Deluxe are miniscule) and to this day envies my Celebrity Deluxe, if for nothing else - the tuning mechanism appearance.Make no mistake about it though - the tuning mechanism on either guitar locks down perfect and stays in tune better than most other guitars.

If you would add anything else to this guitar I would suggest strap-locks for safety reasons.You will be really upset with yourself if you for any reason mar it in any way.I also suggest a heavy-duty wide strap for stability.

Thinking of buying this?Stop thinking about it and DO IT!Of all my guitars (and I own a few) this one is one of my all-time favorites - and I have played a lot of different guitars in my life. ... Read more

Quality guitar for under $500
I was out in the market for a good buy, I found one of these as a factory blem and fell in love with it immediately. Brand new out of the box it sounds great even with the factory strings, but put on a decent set of 11's or 12's and this baby will play anything you want. High action and amazing resonance mean that this guitar sounds great and can be heard either plugged in or straight acoustic. Narrow neck and smooth fretboard mean fast fretting is extremely easy. I have friends with Martin's and one with a Takemine and they both say they'd trade either of their guitars for mine because of the quality of the sound. ... Read more

Life Is Just A Mid-Depth Bowl of Cherry Cherry Burst
I had never been a fan of Ovation guitars until I played the new Ovation Standard Balladeer Model 1771 LX. I have owned high end-guitars for almost 40 years, including Martins, Gibsons, and Taylors. While I have tried Ovations since they first came onto the market and played friends' high-end models (e.g., Custom Legend) I never cared to own one. That changed the moment I picked up this guitar.

This is a marvelous instrument; light, vibrant and highly playable with excellent sustain and wonderful features. The OP-PRO preamp with built in chromatic tuner is the same unit Ovation puts on several of the Custom Legend models.

Believe me when I say that the LX series Ovations- and this model in particular - sound amazing. I played it against every other Ovation the dealer had (including Custom Legend, Elite LX and Adamas models and comparable Taylors, Gibsons, and Martins) and this was by far the best guitar in the shop.

The fit and finish of the instrument is top notch! While it may not be as "lively" as a $2000+ Martin or Taylor it has a personality and beauty all its own at a price well south of $1000. The scalloped X-bracing and A Grade Sitka spruce top makes this guitar just sing. The rosette - in a muted version of the traditional Ovation oak leaf pattern - is now laser-cut and inlaid instead of stuck on and protruding from the top. The bound fretboard is rosewood as is the pinless bridge and the chrome machine tuners on the five-piece neck fit the "understated but elegant" look of this guitar.

Other thoughtful features include a dual action truss rod and carbon fiber stabilizers in the neck joint, and straplocs as standard equipment. This guitar is also lighter than previous models due to improved bowl construction (glass microspheres!). While I don't play "plugged" often the pickup recreates the classic Ovation Original Patented Pickup. Al DiMeola collaborated with Ovation on the OP-Pro preamp - similar to the OP-24 but with more bells and whistles. The bypass button gives you the choice of either Al DiMeola's or Melissa Etheridge's precise settings or you can set your own. The OPP and OP-Pro are standard on all of the LX models.

I also bought the Ovation hardshell case, which provides a secure home for the guitar when idle or traveling. I highly recommend this case as cheap insurance to protect your investment.

The downside - the round back is something I am still getting used to - especially since I have gotten rounder myself - so in that sense the LX and I resemble each other.

This has become the guitar that I reach for most often these days and the one most likely to travel with me as well. Kudos to you Ovation - you won me over at last!
