Ovation CS24P Flamed Myrtle Burst Limited

The Ovation CS24P Flamed Myrtle Burst Limited is undoubtedly distinguished by its comprehensive functionality and its selected materials. Furthermore, the roundback guitar produces a very powerful and warm sound, which can be passed on to an amplifier with the help of the in-house Ovation OP-4CT pickup system with integrated tuner. The flat neck is extremely comfortable to play in all 20 frets, which get an optimized access through a generous cutaway. To round off the instrument visually tasteful, the manufacturer uses selected precious woods for the top, whose exciting grain is emphasized by a high-gloss finish.

Structure and woods

Since the body is made of Lyrachord, the bass frequencies are colored with a pleasant warmth, which is not least due to the mid-depth arching. Thanks to a top made of laminated flamed myrtlewood, the midrange frequencies are clearly defined, so both strumming and Pickings come out perfectly. The flat Nato neck is equipped with an Ovangkol fingerboard, which is easy and obliging to grip.

Hardware and design

A fitted saddle and 42.8mm wide nut ensure clean intonation throughout the 643mm scale, while oil encapsulated die-cast tuners guarantee easy and precise tuning. The top wood is bordered by multi-ply bindings, which are very aesthetically matched to the double-ringed abalone soundhole rosette and the filigree dot inlays in the fretboard. The characteristic headstock and round body give the Ovation CS24P Flamed Myrtle Burst Limited the typical features for which the company has been known for decades.
