Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I love this guitar -- I purchased one of these Ovation Celebrity 12-strings about a year and a half ago. I also have an electric solid body guitar and a small 6-string acoustic, but this is the one with the most beautiful voice. It's just on a different plain from six string guitars, much like hearing a singing duet harmonizing. A concern I had before I bought it was tuning. How was I going to make sure all those strings were in tune, and, wasn't the tuning situation for 12-strings different? Not to worry, this thing has a built in electronic tuner. You just pop in a battery, push a button, and then whenever you hit a string, the device gives you the note you're closest to, as well as an arrow showing whether you're too high or too low. You just adjust the tension of the string accordingly. I would recommend getting Ovation's hard body case. It's an additional cost, and it's not cheap, but it gives you so much protection. There are "gig bags" as they call them that can be purchased for this, but they're pretty flimsy. This guitar, like all Ovations, looks unusual, although you cannot see it in the photo, you'd need a side shot for that. The bodies are made of a special high-tech plastic and the guitars have a rounded bottom, much different from other guitars. But there's a reason for that: It's an ideal shape, but not something you could easily accomplish with wood. When you hear "plastic," don't think that means they're cheaply made. Not so; this is a fine quality instrument. And when you hear the wonderful tone, you wonder how they could sell them for such a relatively low price. Perhaps the only drawback is that it has such a full-bodied sound -- as do most all 12-strings -- it may not be a good idea for those living in apartments or condos, unless you're very discreet in your playing.
