While every other acoustic builder was stacking wood on wood, Ovation's founder Charles Kaman — an aerospace engineer — looked at guitar building through an entirely different lens. The result was Lyrachord, a fiberglass-composite material molded into a smooth, parabolic bowl that focuses acoustic energy right where you want it: toward the audience. The CS24-5 carries that same DNA in a mid-depth body that's comfortable against your torso whether you're seated in a studio chair or standing center-stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Celebrity Traditional line sits at the entry point of the Ovation family, and the CS24-5 in Black delivers a solid spruce top, scalloped quartersawn X-bracing, and a center soundhole layout — plus a full onboard electronics package ready to plug in from day one. This B-Stock unit is new, never owned, and will be gone over and set up by our licensed tech before it gets to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've been curious about what all the Ovation fuss is about, or you're looking for a gig-worthy acoustic-electric that won't leave your wallet completely hollow, the CS24-5 is a very approachable place to start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Solid Top Where It Counts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CS24-5 leads with a solid spruce top — a genuine solid top, not a laminate — braced with scalloped, quartersawn X-bracing for responsive tone and good note separation. Spruce is the workhorse of acoustic guitar tops for good reason: it's stiff, light, and produces a clear, articulate voice with solid projection. Paired with Ovation's Lyrachord composite bowl back, the sound leans bright and forward with strong clarity — qualities that translate especially well through a PA system or monitor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe top is finished in gloss black with a pearloid rosette around the center soundhole, ivory-white body binding, and multi-ply purfling. It's a clean, sharp look that holds up well on stage under lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNeck, Fretboard, and Feel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CS24-5 features a satin-finished Nato neck with an ovangkol fingerboard and bridge. The scale length runs 643mm (approximately 25.3\"), and the nut width sits at 42.8mm (about 1-11\/16\") — a slightly narrower profile that tends to feel accessible to players coming from an electric background. Ovation's rounded-C neck profile and 10\" fingerboard radius contribute to a faster-feeling neck than you'd find on many acoustics in this range. Pearloid dot inlays and chrome die-cast tuners round out the hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlayers often find the mid-depth Lyrachord body particularly comfortable for long playing sessions — it sits naturally against the body without the bulk of a full-depth acoustic, which is a genuine ergonomic advantage, especially standing up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eElectronics: Built to Perform Live\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOvation has been in the acoustic-electric game longer than just about anyone, and the CS24-5 benefits from that experience. The guitar is equipped with an Ovation CP-100 Slimline pickup at the bridge and an OP-4BT preamp system built into the upper bout. The OP-4BT gives you a three-band EQ (bass, mid, treble with ±12dB control), volume\/gain, an onboard chromatic tuner, and a low-battery indicator. That's a genuinely useful suite of controls — you can dial in your sound before you hit the stage without hunting for an external tuner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lyrachord body's smooth interior surface is designed to enhance acoustic reflection and resist feedback at higher volumes — a real-world benefit that Ovation players have appreciated for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid spruce with gloss black finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-depth Lyrachord composite roundback with single cutaway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Scalloped quartersawn X-bracing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck:\u003c\/strong\u003e Satin-finished Nato with rounded-C profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard \u0026amp; Bridge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ovangkol, 10\" radius, 20 frets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 643mm (~25.3\"); Nut Width: 42.8mm (~1-11\/16\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElectronics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ovation CP-100 Slimline pickup + OP-4BT preamp with 3-band EQ and onboard tuner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTuners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chrome die-cast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRosette:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pearloid; Binding: Ivory white with multi-ply purfling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoundhole:\u003c\/strong\u003e Center soundhole (CS \/ Traditional series)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis item is a \"B-Stock Guitar\" directly from the manufacturer.
