Location: Paintsville, KY | I figured this was the place to ask this.
I have this Ovation solid body electric that I can
not identify on any of the online lists.
It is a white solidbody Ovation.
It says "Celebrity" on the headstock.
Made in Korea, serial # 7050704.
2 knobs, one pickup selector, another silver switch.
One humbucker, 2 single coils.
Some kind of locking trem system says "ovation" on it.
Pictures on flicker, can't post 'em straight from there.......

It's a made in Korea Celebrity. The serial number indicates it has a serial number, which is unfortunately the only thing it helps with. Nice guitar. |

I don't see it on that drop down list on your page and I didn't find it on any other page.
Is there a model number I'm missing somehow?
Is it a "GS3-F Ultra"...
Are there other pictures online somewhere?
Do you have any other information that you know about it?
Sorry for bothering you if I am... |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | There really isn't much info on them. If you look at the catalog link above you'll see some variations. I believe they were made at the Samick factory in Korea.
I'm just guessing, but based on how many different configurations and colors I have seen (many), I'm guessing any time one of the companies that ordered guitars came up with a design, they asked everyone else if they wanted their respective logos on the headstock to sell some too.
All in all, if you get one that has been taken care of, they are rock solid guitars. The only weak spot I have seen, as with many imports, is the inconsistency of the wood used on the necks resulting in warped necks if they weren't really cared for. But if you have one, and it's still straight... it likely will remain that way and rock for many years.
The rest of the guitar... pickups, paint, switches, seem to be made of reliable parts. |

Location: Paintsville, KY | Thanks for all the info.
It seems like an OK guitar. It's not my favorite, but its got good weight to it, and a decent sound.
Thanks again for all the help.
