New

The Celebrity Elite CE48 acoustic-electric guitar provides full, resonant tone in an ultra-portable package. Its super-shallow Lyrachord body is lightweight yet highly resonant, with natural acoustic projection ideal for singer-songwriters and traveling musicians. The solid spruce top brings shimmering highs and tight bass, while scalloped X-bracing allows the top to freely vibrate. Together, these premium tonewoods generate a balanced acoustic voice with impressive dynamic range.

Play Comfortably Anywhere

The CE48's rounded Lyrachord back and sides are only about an inch thick, creating an instrument you can play comfortably anywhere. Despite its small size, the guitar projects well and has a surprisingly full voice, letting you perform with confidence. The slim, lightweight body contours comfortably to your frame, whether you're practicing at home or gigging around town. For life on the move, the CE48 is an ideal musical companion.

Shape Your Sound with Onboard Electronics

Shape your amplified tone with the CE48's OP4BT preamp and Ovation Slimline pickup. The 3-band EQ provides tonal control over bass, midrange and treble frequencies. You'll also appreciate the onboard tuner for quick tuning checks between songs. The preamp's balanced XLR and 1/4" outputs make it easy to plug into any PA system or acoustic amp. With simple sound-shaping at your fingertips, you have creative freedom to dial in the perfect tone.

Premium Appointments and Playability

The CE48's ovangkol fingerboard and bridge provide a smooth playing surface, while elegant multi-wood epaulets and multi-ply purfling add visual flair. Die-cast Ovation tuners keep your strings in tune through long practice sessions and performances. A slim nato neck has a comfortable C-shape for effortless fretting. Dot inlays help guide you to the right notes. Overall, the CE48 balances premium looks and feel with a travel-ready design.
