Celebrity Elite PlusCE48P-RG-G : Fantastic

Brilliant guitar for the price. I was looking for a replacement for my old Aria round back. Although the Aria is a nice guitar with a lovely tone, I just couldn't get a decent sound plugged in. No pre-amp. I play in a covers band and need a good acoustic sound for a couple of songs without spending silly money.. I use the awesome Boss GT1000 live but even this monster can't produce a good acoustic sound. So I did some research and came with with two possibilities, ibanez aewc32fm or the Ovation. The reason I chose these two is because they are slimline and I have got a belly. I have to iron my shirts on a Wok! Anyway, chose the Ovation. It's shipped with 12's gauge strings which are way too heavy for me so I swapped for 10's. (I can hear you acoustic players screaming at me.) I looked up lowering the bridge online and it's really simple so that's my next minor adjustment.

So, does it cut the mustard? Too right it does. For the price, this guitar is outstanding. Buy it.

(PS. Tiny, tiny little ding on the top but I can live with it)
