Location: Chicagoland U.S.A. | Hi All,
This is my first post here. Today after much deliberation I bought this guitar. I liked it because of the sitka spruce top, OP30 eq., and pearl covered tuners, also the mid-bowl depth.
Does anyone know what the neck is made of? Does anyone own one and can pass their thoughts on abot this guitar?
Thanks,
JRG |

Location: Scotland | The necks on Celebs are specified as Nato, sometimes called Nyatoh. This wood is a plentiful Asian hardwood used in the furniture & instrument industries. As well as guitar necks it is often used for grand piano rims. It has the appearance of mahogany and is similar in strength & weight, but is actually a different species. |

Location: Upper Left USA | I also just picked up a CP2003H after much wrestling over choices. I think the finish is luscious adn after adjusting the action I am very happy with it.
I used to have a Balladeer made in 1977 and though I enjoyed it a lot I sold it to make a different purchase. I chose the Limited Edition 2003 and now I see that the new LX series is a lot like it.
Enjoy your new guitar. Great choice! |

Welcome to the club and congrats on your purchase. I hope you like it.
I tried a CP2003 recently and thought it was the best sounding of any of the Celebrities I have ever played. The arch-top does seem to make a difference. And it is a fine looking guitar as well. Nice choice! |
