1993 Ovation Celebrity Deluxe CC268 Sunburst

Offered for sale:

Used 1993 Ovation Celebrity Deluxe CC268 serial number 465802.

This guitar is in excellent condition showing limited playing time.

The Celebrity Deluxe is made in Korea and of course features the Lyrachord bowl back. This unique synthetic material is composed of inner woven layers of fiberglass bonded together under pressure with special resins. Instead of a traditional sound hole on the top, there are 15 smaller sound holes with different diameters, which are embedded in a leaf-like epaulette. This construction actually has primarily acoustic reasons, as the goal was a top that vibrates as uniformly as possible. The top should vibrate where the sound is created - below the strings. The idea itself was / is not new - violins, violas and cellos also have resonance openings on the side. Of course, it wasn't enough to drill a few holes in the top somewhere. The whole thing had to be packaged in a cosmetically appealing way. With the epaulettes this has been achieved, creating an appealing visual design.

The figured sycamore top incorporates Quintad bracing, the neck is two pieces of matched mahogany with a rosewood finger board. Additional details include gold plated tuners, and Thinline Pickup and EQ System.

Technical features include: 25 ¼” scale length, 1 21/32” width at nut, 20 frets joining the body at the 14th, Rosewood fingerboard with a 9.5” radius and an overall weight of 5.6 lbs.

This guitar plays well and has the unique Ovation tone: solid bass, distinct midrange and clean treble.

Hard shell case included.
