AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
The Ovation Celebrity Standard Exotic 'Trans Black Burst' blends luxurious looks with the legendary performance Ovation is known for. Featuring a visually striking layered quilted maple top beneath a high-gloss transparent black burst finish, this guitar radiates elegance. Abalone inlays, Pearloid fret markers, and a rosewood faceplate complete the refined aesthetic, making it an ideal instrument for players who value style and sound in equal measure.
Built with a center soundhole and scalloped X bracing, the Celebrity Standard Exotic delivers a clear and dynamic tone with strong projection. The mid-depth Lyrachord® body offers a comfortable fit and balanced voice, while the satin-finish mahogany neck and ovangkol fretboard ensure smooth playability. Onboard electronics include the dependable OP-4CT preamp with a built-in tuner and a CP-100 Slimline pickup, giving you total control over your tone in any performance setting.
