i had played various acoustics before this one, and when i played the celebrity for the first time, i fell in love with it. i played it in the music store for probably over a year, and my parents finally bought it for me on my 21st bday. it was my backwoods companion that carried me through hard times in my trailor for 6months and i still love it. never loses sound. great guitar! PS: sounds like a dream plugged in

I bought this guitar about a year ago and never had any real problems with it, sounds great through an amp or unplugged. the only thing is when you get you should lower the action a bit. i play acoustic/pop- punk music like never shout never. but this is great for any genre of music.

'Bought the Celebrity from used stock, (although tags were still intact,) must have been a showroom demo in perfect shape. Great playability & sounds great plugged in with a minor bit of Eq tweaking. I'm a "campfire strummer" at best, but still needed to find an inexpensive way to plug in for a few charity gigs. I upgraded from a non-acoustic Ibanez dreadnought that I love dearly, but this Ovation is really an incredible value. Neck has great feel. Simply tuned it up, (with the built in tuner I wasn't even expecting,) and started playing. Sure, you can spend a ton more on a Martin or Takamine if you're in that league, but for an entry level to average skilled player that wants to plug in with a great looking guitar, look no further. I couldn't be more pleased. Ovation deserves a "standing ovation" on this guitar.

This guitar is a great Value. I bought the spruce top and love. I really like the neck because it isn't coated and it is very smooth. It has a beautiful tone. but when plugged in is very treblely but this is easy enough to fix with the built in preamp. all in all for the money it is a great buy.

I got this guitar 3 years ago, as an upgrade from nylon strings, and at the time i was just ecstatic about the massive upgrade. Its been good to me, apart from a strange anomaly where it breaks the g string all the time, even when its new. Its reliable and has a decent action in my opinion, though there is better out there, for the price? Im not so sure.

Im in the market now for a better guitar, like a taylor or a martin, because, after i went to go record with my ovation, it sounded like a rinky dinky little toy. It might be the carbon fiber body. Now everytime I hear it, I think wow its to bright, "wow i wish it had a warmer fuller tone"

When buying this consider, do i want to save up now for the best or use 350 now, and save up all over again for a better one later?
