Description view details

This is a used Ovation Celebrity Guitar Model CC11. I think it was made in the late 1980's. It is in good condition although I don't know how to sight along the neck to tell if it is good or not. It seems to play well and kind of hums when in tune like you might hope from a good instrument.

Online these seem to sell for $150-200 nowadays. It's a great starter guitar. I'm getting rid of it because I have big fat fingers and have been faking it with this regular size guitar too long, I'm moving to a jumbo guitar because I'm hoping the neck will be wider, so the strings will buzz less and the notes be more distinct. A regular size person should do fine with this. I'm however 6' 1" and 270 lbs...They are considered easy for the average player to play and take care of and are pretty loud.

There are three 1/8" gashes at the top of the tuner keyboard on the end of the neck. They are not too noticeable. Otherwise there are just a few minor flaws, in keeping with Ovation's legendary plastic durability.

Comes with electronic tuner, capo, metal slide for slide guitar and a nice Kases softshell case in like new condition. Guitar will also come strung with light (or medium light??) strings. Free US Shipping.

Here is the description from Ovation site in its archived guitar section:

Thanks. I'm hoping to see more instruments listed in the future.

I'm going to try to win this for my grandson for his birthday. He was so excited when I showed it to him!

Awesome. Good luck.

Jan 10th, 2011 at 7:33:39 PM AKST by socrtwo22

what would your "Get It Now" price be?

Jan 10th, 2011 at 7:57:09 PM AKST by sumstar74

It's too late for that because people have already bid. I was also interested in seeing how many credits an auction for an instrument like this would bring naturally. I haven't seen an instrument listed before. Also there didn't seem to be that option when setting up the auction, I think it was grayed out for some reason.

Jan 10th, 2011 at 8:08:38 PM AKST by socrtwo22

hmmm....I will be watching! Husband is an amazing guitar player we could give it a very loving creative home! X) Very nice auction! X)

Sounds good. Good luck.

Jan 11th, 2011 at 5:25:03 AM AKST by socrtwo22

how much would it cost to ship something like this? just curious for reference. X)

Jan 10th, 2011 at 8:51:58 PM AKST by sumstar74

Good question. Probably about $25 with FedEx Home Delivery.

Great Auction! All the best!

Jan 11th, 2011 at 4:18:41 AM AKST by ronguidry

Thanks so much.

Jan 11th, 2011 at 5:22:17 AM AKST by socrtwo22

By the way I went to FedEx. The shipping there is by far the cheapest. I will need a special guitar box but since I just bought a new guitar, I a;ready have one. The shipping will be $17-50 depending on how far away it needs to be shipped.

Jan 11th, 2011 at 6:36:51 AM AKST by socrtwo22

What makes you say that it's a "starter guitar" and does it have a built-in pick-up?

Jan 11th, 2011 at 7:06:21 AM AKST by abitknozie

It's not a professional guitar. I wouldn't play gigs with it, although I suppose you could. I have played more expensive guitar in say the $500-$3000 range and there is a difference. The expensive guitars are even easier to play and more melodious. Also a starter means, you are not outlaying a lot of money for someone who might drop practicing and playing as sad or not most people do...

No sorry there is no pickup but I think you can add them.

this is such an amazing auction!!! Listia Musicians Unite and post your unused instruments!!!!! We will give them a creative new home!!! X)

Jan 11th, 2011 at 7:08:41 AM AKST by sumstar74

Wow, thanks. Yeah I agree, it would be cool to see more instruments on listia!

Jan 11th, 2011 at 9:40:32 AM AKST by socrtwo22

I agree. I'd also like to see more instruments posted. IMHO, Listia's policy of capping a minimum bid at 100 points limits the listing of high value items.

Jan 11th, 2011 at 1:43:17 PM AKST by 84eagles

Hmmm...That's interesting. I've made suggestions to them or couched the suggestions in terms of "Here' my vote for this feature..." thinking others or themselves would have already suggested or thought of it.

In case you didn't know you can submit suggestions here:

Very cool of you to list BTW. I'll be bidding and if I win, you won't even have to ship it, I live in G'burg and can pick it up!

Jan 11th, 2011 at 1:45:16 PM AKST by 84eagles

Cool, but I will still have to ship it or we meet at a neutral place. My dad doesn't like people coming to our home for business things. :-|

Jan 11th, 2011 at 2:03:09 PM AKST by socrtwo22

I could even drop it off...That's service :->

Jan 11th, 2011 at 2:03:57 PM AKST by socrtwo22

Great auction!!! You have some really nice stuff!

Jan 11th, 2011 at 6:24:49 PM AKST by PinkButterfly88

Thanks, I appreciate the compliment.

Jan 11th, 2011 at 6:55:44 PM AKST by socrtwo22

It is about time someone started listing things of actual real value on here :) Thanks for spicing up Listia :)

Jan 11th, 2011 at 6:46:49 PM AKST by Demighoul

Yeah I think listia envisioned instruments being sold in this section. There is some valuable stuff being sold in the jewelry and electronics sections, especially this past runup to Christmas. I'm happy to list things that people like, there's a good spirit here.

Jan 11th, 2011 at 7:02:43 PM AKST by socrtwo22

Nice guitar. All I will add is that typically a jumbo guitar references the acoustic body being bigger not sure on the neck. What you are probably looking for is a guitar with a fat neck.

Jan 12th, 2011 at 5:36:17 PM AKST by nanook

Thanks for the heads up! i will have to sound a little less confident about my musical knowledge now :-< Sorry about ignorance.

Jan 12th, 2011 at 7:06:11 PM AKST by socrtwo22

Wow! I'm shocked that someone gave you negative feedback! I think of all the transactions I have had on listia, you are by far the nicest, easiest person to to deal with... anyways, Awesome auction!

Jan 14th, 2011 at 11:00:12 AM AKST by tashajamie

Yeah. As the Scripture says a wise man sees a dispute coming from a long way off and avoids it or something along those lines. I wasn't wise.

Jan 14th, 2011 at 11:40:36 AM AKST by socrtwo22

WOW WOW WOW i think that says it alll WOW. wish i had enough credits i'd give you all a run for your money LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT
