The Celebrity is Ovation's accessible roundback range, aimed at players who want the moulded bowl shape and onboard electronics without the US-made price tag.

Why it matters
Celebrity is how most people meet an Ovation: a composite roundback bowl, a mid-depth body and a cutaway, with prices far below the American-built models. The rounded back changes how the instrument sits against the body, which is either the reason to buy one or the reason to avoid it. Amplified performance is the priority, and the line ships with pickup systems as standard.
Note
The accessible roundback line.

Before you buy
