Celebrity is not made in US, except that the fund Lyrachord come good of the country of Uncle Sam
The model I use is a 12-string. The body is sized Mid-Bowl. Electro-acoustic OP24 preamp + and cutaway.
There's all that necessary.
Update 05/03:
Having recently purchased an electronic Lag, I noticed, changing the battery in the preamp, so having seen the inside of the box, the finish was exceptional.
So I decided to exmanier, just to see, than my Ovation. I took a small mirror and I had a look.
What was not my disappointment. It is simply unacceptable that a skyscraper that price (640 euros, because it is the model 12-string) is as sloppy inside. Ok, it's not what looks normal, and that's not what makes the sound (on that, it's a great guitar, no complaints), but hey, it's great neglected.
So I saw that the bars are hyper-off ill-fitting (not the same height and more, the guys who make these guitars have a compass in the eye), and in addition, the cutting of the rose is dismal: top (side preamp) is cutting nearly round and very moderately clean, but the bottom (bevel side) is wrong, not clean, and more wood is split and lost fragments . I have never seen even a guitar at 50 euros. The Korean ovations have no big differences in sound with the Yanks, but while there, you really see where they made money. That's why they put the large plastic roses, it cuts to hide their shit.
I put eight characteristics, and I put the final four because the finish is crap.
UTILIZATION
The handle is thicker than normal (12 strings) but it goes well, except that it is not enough polish and I find it a little irride hand. But nothing too serious. Access to acute is correct for an acoustic guitar. Otherwise, with a round back guitar, you have to adjust the strap if the guitar slips and bows when playing standing.
The action is relatively low (very good when you are 12 strings) and the excellent playing comfort.
SOUNDS
Acoustics, it is like all Ovations:
- Sound extremely rich in harmonics (at the table had a finer guiatre normal and also thanks to an unprecedented barrage, all made possible by the fund rounded Lyrachord).
- Its very precise and clear
- Excellent sustain
- Compressed natural sound
- Slight lack of bass
- Lower volume a guitar "normal"
All these features except the last are perfect for a 12-string.
The sound overall is very beautiful and unlike any other traditional guitar. It's very rich and the beautiful treble is really beautiful.
In electronics, it's all good too. But I use it primarily to make noise made in the studio with micro electro-static, so I use the piezo not the masses.
OVERALL OPINION
Excellent, whether acoustic or plugged. Look fabulous. A great guitar to the very strong personality for a floor price. I heard Rican 12-string models, and there's no obvious difference in the sound from the Celebrity.
Updated: I note down my 8 because of problems finishing described above. Guitars 2-3 times less expensive finishes were infinitely better. It's foutage of mouth for the price. Anyway, I leave a note as the guitar sounds great, and ultimately that's what counts.
