Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The CE48 brings Ovation’s Super Shallow Lyrachord body to a right-handed acoustic-electric designed for a lightweight, travel-ready profile. Its solid spruce top and scalloped X-bracing are paired with a Slimline pickup and OP4BT preamp. Onboard bass, midrange, and treble controls let you shape the amplified signal, while the tuner handles between-song checks. Balanced XLR and 1/4-inch outputs give you two connection formats for a PA system or acoustic amp.
Strong match

- PA or acoustic-amp setups that can use balanced XLR or 1/4-inch output.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
