Perfect for folk and fingerstyle

This guitar responds beautifully to fingerpicking. The separation between notes is clear, and the bass response is tight without being muddy. Highly recommend for singer-songwriters.

Beautiful craftsmanship

The finish on the maple back is flawless. It projects well acoustically, though it truly shines when amplified. The neck profile is slim and fast, making it easy to play complex chords.

Exceeded my expectations

I was hesitant about the grape hole design at first, but it adds such a unique character to the instrument. The electronics are intuitive and the battery life seems decent so far.

Unique sound and incredible comfort

The roundback design takes a little getting used to if you are coming from a dreadnought, but the comfort while sitting is unmatched. The grape hole aesthetic is stunning in person, and the plugged-in tone is very balanced for live performances.

Good, but slippery

Sound quality is fantastic, no complaints there. However, the glossy roundback can be quite slippery on your leg if you don't use a strap while sitting. Just something to be aware of.

Great stage guitar

I bought this specifically for gigging. The built-in tuner is accurate, and the feedback resistance thanks to the synthetic back is excellent. Only giving 4 stars because the case is sold separately, which adds to the cost.

5 FAQ

Q: Is the preamp battery replaceable by the user?

A: Yes, the OP-4BT preamp uses a standard 9V battery that is easily accessible through a compartment on the side of the upper bout. No tools are required.

Q: Can I play this guitar unplugged effectively?

A: Absolutely. While it is an electro-acoustic model, the solid spruce top provides sufficient volume and projection for practice and small gatherings without amplification.

Q: What is the width of the nut on this guitar?

A: The nut width on the Ovation CE44 models is approximately 1.69 inches (43 mm), which is standard for most folk and concert-sized acoustic guitars.

Q: Does this guitar come with a hard case included?

A: No, the Ovation CE44 series typically does not include a hard case in the standard package. Cases are usually sold separately to keep the initial price lower.

Q: What type of strings are best for this model if I want to change them?

A: This model is designed for bronze acoustic strings. We recommend light or medium gauge bronze strings to maintain the optimal tension and tone for the spruce top.
