Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Ovation's black CS24 Celebrity Series is a right-handed acoustic-electric guitar built with a solid spruce top and a mid-depth Lyrachord body. Its nato neck and ovangkol fingerboard form the playing surface, while the CP-100 slimline pickup and OP-4CT preamp handle amplified use. The preamp provides bass, mid, and treble controls, a tuner, and settings memory, with power from two AA batteries. It is a practical option for players who need onboard adjustment and tuning in a stage or studio setup.
