Celebrity Elite PlusCE48P-RG-G : Exceeded expectations.

Absolutely delighted with this guitar. It looks even more stunning in real life than in the photographs. It seems very well made and finished.

The plugged in sound is superb and the gain control and 3 band equaliser make it easy to adjust the tone to individual preference. The built in tuner is a bonus.

The super shallow bowl does compromise the depth of the unplugged tone although it is still reasonable. A purist acoustic player should maybe look elsewhere but for a giggable acoustic sound it is perfect.

The action was on the high side but was easily lowered by removing one of the two under saddle shims (which is easy to do). I replaced the supplied strings with extra light gauge acoustic and it now rivals an electric guitar for playability.

Overall this is a superb guitar for the money.
