About this listing
** OVATION CDX40P PB Celebrity Elite Deluxe Peach Burst **Brand NEW (New Strings & Full Setup by our Guitar Tech)Original cardbox and accessories included.In the world of acoustic guitars, some brands focus on tradition, while others choose to forge their own path. Ovation clearly belongs to the latter category. Since the late 1960s, the American brand has challenged conventions by introducing a design inspired by aeronautical engineering: a composite back instead of traditional wood. This famous Lyrachord Roundback, both visually striking and functionally innovative, has become one of the most recognizable signatures in modern guitar design, particularly suited for stage performance and amplification.Today, this legacy lives on through the Celebrity series, which includes the Celebrity Deluxe CDX40 PB. This model fully embodies the brand’s philosophy: offering an accessible guitar without compromising the sonic and aesthetic identity that made Ovation successful. In this Peach Burst finish, the instrument immediately stands out with its elegant and warm look, highlighting its distinctive lines.Naturally, it features the iconic Deep Contour Roundback Lyrachord body, here refined to provide improved playing comfort. Less unusual than earlier, more rounded designs, it fits more naturally against the player while retaining the direct and precise projection typical of Ovation guitars. The nato neck, paired with an ovangkol fingerboard, offers a smooth and balanced playing feel. With a 643 mm scale length and a 42.8 mm nut width, the guitar delivers accessible playability, suitable for both demanding beginners and intermediate players. The cutaway also allows easy access to higher frets, enhancing its versatility.One of the most distinctive features remains the top design. True to the Elite series spirit, the CDX40 replaces the traditional central soundhole with multiple soundholes positioned on the upper bout. This is not just an aesthetic choice: it changes how sound is projected and improves player monitoring, whether seated or performing live.Tonally, the guitar offers a clear, precise, and modern character. The solid spruce top provides definition and dynamic response, while the Lyrachord body enhances projection and clarity, especially when amplified. The result is well-balanced, with crisp highs, present mids, and controlled lows. Strumming comes through with precision, and fingerpicking retains excellent articulation. Rather than a traditionally “woody” tone, this instrument is designed to cut through the mix, making it particularly well suited for vocal accompaniment and live use.The onboard electronics, featuring a preamp and tuner, reinforce this orientation. Plugged in, the CDX40 truly comes into its own: the signal is clean, well-defined, and easy to handle, whether in rehearsal or on stage.In the end, the Ovation Celebrity Deluxe CDX40 PB stands out as a guitar true to the brand’s DNA: original, comfortable, and clearly geared toward amplified performance. Less traditional than all-solid wood competitors, it will primarily appeal to musicians looking for a reliable, versatile instrument that performs effortlessly in live situations. A modern and accessible interpretation of the Ovation spirit—one that, more than fifty years after its creation, still stands apart from the rest.Specifications: Electro-acoustic folk guitar Body: Deep Contour Roundback with cutaway Solid spruce top New Quintad Elite bracing, similar to U.S.-made models Lyrachord body Nato neck Ovangkol fingerboard Pearloid dot inlays Scale length: 643 mm Nut width: 42.8 mm Truss rod access at the headstock Ivory-colored body binding Multiple soundholes and additional side soundholes Multi-piece hardwood epaulettes with wave design Multi-piece decorative purfling 23 frets Ovation CP-100 Slimline pickup OP-4CT preamp with tuner Ovangkol bridge Gold Ovation tuners
