Ovation Celebrity CC24-NBM, made in China 2014, nutmeg burl finish. Ovation guitars tend to attract strong opinions, but those who love them, really love them. This is a recent model, featuring some classic Ovation appointments like a USA-made 'bowl back' , bevelled headstock and a pinless bridge. It's also blessed with an outrageous maple burl top... the detail in the grain is outstanding, the more you look at it the more different little pictures and faces seem to look back at you. It's an easy player with an electric-esque slim neck that'll have you moving around with speed and confidence. The noteable precise attack and lyrical note separation typical of Ovation stuff is on offer here; there's a lovely eloquence to the tone. These are discontinued now, plus the matching hardcase is a nice bonus. Hang it on the wall, admire it, and it'll soon surely be your daily player.
