OMG you were hilarious! Thanks for the vote, I bought the blue quilted maple version two years ago and the Luthier said they were infamous for necks separating at the body. Mines still good and I love it. I love the thin neck, as it does have an electric feel to it. Sold my old Melody Maker years ago and I loved the neck on that guitar. Thanks for a great show, and yes I did subscribe.
Geargasm you have a great sense of humor in addition to your versatility on the guitar. Some highlights of the videos: 'sorry Ovation,the Taylor T-shirt, my fat belly exacerbates... the jingle about subscribers on RUclips... ...hats off to Ovation,even though I am not wearing any.. Great job. Regards from Guyana.
Thanks man. Before purchasing me own, was trying to find the accustic sound coming out of the "Oh" with such a hole cut pattern. Nice points about strength & all. LoL @ "I'm a cowboy" Christmas is around the corner -wanna be my dad? I'm looking @ the 12-string next.
I used your have an Ovation Preacher solid body electric guitar that was amazing. Same neck and headstock. You adjusted bridge height and pickup height from the back of the guitar. It was unique but sounded great.
I just bought a CS 257 shadow black and I'm going to set it up . Yours to high mine will to but I'll knock it to the to the mid to low end. And remember it will take a week of some hard playing to get that wood moving.
Laughed so damn hard on the taylor shirt comment! Recently got an ovation celebrity elite koa, that is to me the most suitable guitar i could get (koa top has a really tasty mid bass tone that just sits along with what you play). It's also such a beautiful instrument, looks like a frikin spaceship! way cooler than a taylor ahah Well maybe doesn't sound as nice unplugged... But plug it in and add some reverb sauce and it sounds like a frikin spaceship! Fellow surfer here, noticed the surfboard, hope you still paddle out! Wishing your way some barrels and good times 🤙
You said, this is not a beginners guitar. What do you mean by that? Is it not good to learn on? I fell in love with this guitar and I consider buying one. I know some basic stuff, but I need to learn more.
Funny, my action has the exact same problem. I cut up a few playing cards and put them under the bridge and now it’s perfect. Also tho, mine was supposed to be a “d” guitar apparently. And it sounded fine tuned down, but after I raised the bridge, it worked great in every tuning
I bought some brass bridge shims just in case the truss rod didn’t take care of it so you and I think alike! Thanks for watching and commenting! Please subscribe if not already- love to have you in the family!
Il also going to cut a bone nut out for mine and stick a set of some Grover tuners with black buttons on it and find some strings that will ring good and maybe lose some of that treble on it. Then pull the electronics and trick that out. They are a gorgeous looking thing, but as for sound I want it closer to a dreadnought it also has a chip on the left front of the head, not a problem there then I'll rub it out and brighten it up a tad with some 3M super fine compound touch the heads paint up blend that and look for a hard case. Do you remember the all aluminum Travis Bean electric la from the early to mid 70s. I haven't since tben. Well thanks man I enjoyed that I'll check back with you and see what you playing with as I'm on a quest to learn a bunch of acoustic guitar songs and will probably start looking for a Dreadnought Yamaha, Martin, or somethings in the mid $ range. I can't believe how many brands are out there now and beautiful custom hand made ones also, and glad Luther's are getting off their butts and getting those beauties out there. BY
How do Ovation handle environments like Arizona?... I ask this as multiple guitars I own have been screwed up when I moved here from Australia into this dry dust hole lol. I ended up with a travel Carbon fiber guitar which works really well... but something about wooden guitars feels right...would they handle it better being half carbon?.
I would think so but I’ve still seen tops crack. That’s quite the long move! I would buy a room humidifier as well. Would love to have you subscribe if not already and welcome to the USA!
Your review is ok but the instrument Ovation Celebrity Elite CE44-4-G seems not so good as I thought. It sounds very simple both unplugged and plugged into the PA in fact it sounds awful. I’m sorry but I have to test it ones more before I think of buying one. So thanks for your help. //Thomas
OK, you like comments, here's mine (I'm the Negative Grid guy). As for the Ovation, I've owned two Legacy Ovations, both came with the fret-board inlays not exactly lining up with the strings--which doesn't effect playing, and not noticeable to the average person, but drives me crazy every time I look at them. I'd like to see a review on their new Legacy line (even though I've sworn them off) if you ever get a chance. My other comment is in reference to the Spark Amp (hey, 7 months later and it finally came in) so I'll leave that in the other video comments. Finally, for those who would consider an Ovations--here's my experience with them. I found their string alignment in the nut and bridge string guides were always off for some reason and the bridge placement was also not perfect (adding to my frustration). I zoomed in on this guitar to check these things (would have been nice to have a full face view--maybe next time)--and it didn't appear to have these issues from what I could see. Check your bridge placement, bridge string guides and nut guides along with string alignment down the neck in reference to the neck inlays and obviously 1st and 6th string spacing down the outside of the neck--hopefully they have a better Quality Assurance system in place then they did in the past? That's all I have--hope this helps somebody--cheers for now.
Yeah this one was lined up perfectly. The only issue was resolved with a little truss rod love. I think they’re back to doing things correctly. I had a plum burst late 90s model Celebrity Deluxe that I gigged with for years and this sounds better in the room and into a PA. It’s still no Martin or Taylor but I think it competes favorably with say Washburn in that price range.
sub'd. I just got my Celebrity Elite with spalted maple top yesterday. I got it off ebay from a reputable dealer, and I love it! I'm going to call and see if they did an action job on it since it was a floor model, because the action is incredible and there are two saddle shims in the bag with the paperwork and wrench. I have to say that they sound even better in person than they do on videos. They, at least mine, have a beautiful ring to them.
@@GearGasms They all look good to me. The thing about getting a spalted maple top is seeing the guitar you are actually buying. Some buyers buy based on a stock photo, and are disappointed when the guitar they receive isn't as nice as they thought it was going to be. It's generally not an issue, but it does happen from time to time.
"I've never turned a truss rod in my life". Rarely, have I bought a guitar that I DIDN'T turn the truss rod to get more relief as the action was set far too LOW. People, fear NOT the GENTLE turning of the truss rod. And ONLY turn 1/16th to 1/4 at a time. Then do as this reviewer did and let the neck sit and the wood re-model under the new stress. The adding of humidity helps greatly. I thought this instrument sounded less thin and plasticy than many Ovations Ive heard. Maybe it has a MEDIUM or DEEP bowl?(cant recall what he said the bowl depth was). I would like to buy one.
It's a medium bowl and it does sound great. My son loves it! Yes, I was glad to get over my fear of the truss rod! Thanks for watching and I hope you'll subscribe if not already!
Ever since I saw an Ovation brochure in 1970, I'd wanted an Ovation, but couldn't afford one. A couple of years ago I finally had enough spare cash to buy this exact model from Sweetwater. I am SO disappointed in it. It took me awhile to realise that it had a lousy setup. I improved the action by removing a saddle shim and tweaking the truss rod relief. That was a slight improvement, but it STILL lacks sustain on certain strings on certain frets. So much for the so-called 55 point inspection! I also realised that it is NOT made in the USA, but in China. Do NOT believe the bullshit that Chinese made Ovation guitars are as good as American made. I'm telling you from experience that the Chinese manufactured Ovations are inferior to the American made. I now wish that I had bought a Taylor or a Martin, but I'm stuck with this log of wood.
I have a Taylor 814ce that I love. I have never played an Asian guitar that I thought was really good. My son is a new player so he likes the Ovation. Thanks for commenting Anon and would love to have you subscribe if not already! 🤘🏻
My first Celebrity Deluxe was probably a 96 or so and it was great but once I got the Taylor I knew I wasn’t going to play it much. I wish I’d kept it as kind of a beater because it would be a great guitar to throw in the car and take to the beach. Indestructible!
@dtreeguy I have an ovation deluxe 1994 and you right mate It is a wonderful instrument I set elixir 14 light bronze and It sings like blubird I enjoy every time in every gig I'm in.
It did in fact but it was a different lady in a different color! My son always loved that guitar and he was mad that I sold it when I bought my Taylor so when he wanted an acoustic, I knew it had to be a Celeb Deluxe!
Hi. Its a beautiful guitar with a beautiful sound...Please tell me how much the weight of this guitar? I want to buy, so its very important to me the weight. Its similar to an simple electro-acoustic guitar? Please help me... Thanks a lot

I heard the story of an expensive custom ovation shallowback bought directly from Ovation that developed a hairline crack out of nowhere and not only would ovation not honor the warranty, they said it was his fault and blocked the twitter feed. Doesn't sound like a company that has good customer or quality skills.
I agree - it’s not expensive and holds its own very well against other stuff in its price point like Washburn and Takamine! Would love to have you subscribe if not already!
It’s my son’s and it sounds better in the room than it came out on video - I was just using a shotgun mic on the camera- and definitely sounds better with someone other than me playing it. But to me it sounds like a $500 guitar and not even in the same league as my $4000 Taylor. Thanks for watching and commenting and would love to have you subscribe if not already, Bill!
It’s not that I didn’t know how to do it, it’s just never been necessary nor did I have the balls had it been necessary. You can review any number of things without knowing how to do maintenance on it. But thanks for the comment
@@GearGasms Well, I didn't mean to be mean! I was also afraid of using the truss road the first time but if you do it little by little you can not damage the guitar, I live in the Netherlands and the weather is severe here. I have to take my guitar on a gig bag to give lessons so it's being exposed to warm and cold weather a few times a day and the neck goes bonkers. I am used to adjust the neck a few times a year. I ordered the same model yesterday to teach my pupils. I wanted a strong guitar and a 12 string one. So I hope to get it soon. Take care and have fun!
@@GearGasms Yes, we are fine, we have a lockdown but not severe. I still teach some students face to face and some other ones online. But I am getting tired of the whole thing. Let us hope it will soon be over! I heard on the news that USA is in a lot of trouble, too bad, really, USA is a very cool place! Take care as well!

I have a '79 Balladeer that I love and have had my eye on a Celebrity for a while.
Yeah it’s pretty nice. I had one for years in the 90s
Does it have that silver Ovation plate inside the hole? I think I remember reading somewhere that 79 was the last year they did that.
@@idontcare6262 it doesn't. But I've seen other '79 1112 models that had the same blue sticker as mine
@@tyroneturner4215 Very nice. I'm sure it sounds great. And those celebrities have had my eye for quite a while as well.
Love your screen name!
That sounds great!! Nice demo! Man, I think if we lived close to one another, we'd have a lot of fun jamming, LOL. We know all the same tunes!

Could you have raised the action by adding a shim under the saddle? My Ovation came with some extra shims.
I actually bought some in case but turned out.not to need them

Do ovations use big jumbo frets?? And is any preamps with mics in these guitars? Or just piezo?? Thnx❤
The frets are like electric medium jumbo. And there is piezo and preamp. No mics

I was also afraid of using the truss road the first time but if you do it little by little you can not damage the guitar, I live in the Netherlands and the weather is severe here. I have to take my guitar on a gig bag to give lessons so it's being exposed to warm and cold weather a few times a day and the neck goes bonkers. I am used to adjust the neck a few times a year.
I ordered the same model yesterday to teach my pupils. I wanted a strong guitar and a 12 string one. So I hope to get it soon. Take care and have fun!
I didn’t take it that way at all! Hope you all are staying safe over in the Netherlands!
@@GearGasms Yes, we are fine, we have a lockdown but not severe. I still teach some students face to face and some other ones online. But I am getting tired of the whole thing. Let us hope it will soon be over! I heard on the news that USA is in a lot of trouble, too bad, really, USA is a very cool place! Take care as well!
Pickup is out dated
What do you mean? This guitar was brand new
Nice out of tune singing🤪
