I'm thinking of buying one and I can't find any information on the Ovation site. Does it have a solid spruce top? Did anyone try it out?

You sound like me about a year and a half ago. I was re-emerging to find out what I could about Ovation guitars. I had my eye (and wallet) focussed on the 2004 Celeb Deluxe Collector. Facts are the Celebrity Deluxe Collectors, add a little more flash, but don't come close to the quality control that the USA models have. For the same price I would look into an Elite T or Balladeer LX model for new or just wait and learn about excellant used instruments available here and on Ebay. This is a good place to become an educated Shopper! I believe in the sound and engineering shown in the Celebrities, which are made in Korea. I have found that it is better to buy the base model Camry instead of the built up Corolla.
