Location: New Jersey | Hi folks. I just bought a used Celebrity Deluxe cp247. For a Korean guitar, it is really a gem. Action nice, fit and finish is stellar. The finish is the natural quilt maple, I'm a sucker for natural finishes. Hopefully I'll be in the market for a USA model sometime next year. I'll post some pics if anyone is interested. It was a challenge trying to find info on this guitar; I know the imports are tough to nail down, but I managed to do some sleuthing. I believe it's a 2005 model, it has gold hardware but the tuner buttons are " pearl"- if anyone has any more info on this model, I'd appreciate it. Well, that's all I have for now, glad to have found some other Ovation aficionados! |

Location: Route 66, just east of the Cadillac Ranch | Congratulations on your guitar and yes, we want to see pictures. If you haven't already found it, www.ovationtribute.com is a great source for documentation. BTW, just in case you used the serial number to date the guitar, as I understand it serial numbers aren't realiable for dating Korean made Ovations. Welcome to the group. If you'd like to be able to post in the other forums, just let the moderators know. |

Location: New Jersey | Thanks for the welcome Nick. Yeah I heard the serials were not reliable. What helped was the site you mentioned. I saw my guitar in a 2005 catalog. It was a UK one; unfortunately they didn't have a US one covering that year of Celebrities. My serial number starts with a 5, so I'm thinking it's a fairly good chance it's accurate. Wish I could find an '05 US catalog to confirm though. |

Location: Jet City | Congrats on your first Ovation Scanman!
Your membeship automatically unlocks once you've purchase an Ovation. Had you purchased a USA built model, an "OFC Welcome Basket" would have been included in your membership.
Happy posting. |

Great pictures, but DB's gonna go off on your a$$ because a couple of them are sideways. A roundback flanked by two Flys. Cool |

Location: New Jersey | I'll hide for a while then - yeah those Flys were sweet deals- got them both used- the darker one is a 2001 Fly Classic; the lighter one a 2009 NiteFly Mojo. Best electric guitars on the planet -IMHO. |
