Introducing the Ovation Celebrity CS24-4

This used Ovation Celebrity CS24-4 is a recent acquisition by Kuantan-based busker Art Azman. The first thing he did after getting the guitar was string it up, tune to pitch, and put it through its paces. Unfortunately, he found the action a little too high for his liking; and has brought the Ovation to CA Guitar Repair for a possible remedy.

Ovation CS24-4 | Some Specifications

I've seen this guitar advertised online as an "Ovation CS24-4-G Electric-Acoustic Guitar," "Ovation Celebrity CS24-4-G," and "Ovation CS24-4 Celebrity Collection Standard Mid-Depth 6-String Acoustic-Electric Guitar," amongst other designations. The last one is quite a mouthful, eh? So, let's simplify matters, and stick with what's printed on the soundhole label. And now, without further ado, let's peruse some specifications.
