Ovation CS24 Celebrity Standard Nylon, Black Gloss Overview
The Ovation CS24 Celebrity Standard Nylon is a smooth-playing electro-classical that brings the feel of a traditional nylon-string together with Ovation’s signature roundback design. Its solid cedar top offers a warm, expressive voice with plenty of dynamic range, while the quartersawn fan bracing keeps things resonant and balanced across the spectrum. The mid-depth Lyrachord body helps project the tone while staying comfortable to hold, making it ideal for long sessions or live sets. Finished in Black Gloss, it’s a guitar that sounds refined and looks the part too.
Plugged in, the CT-600A Slimline pickup and OP-4CT preamp deliver a clear, natural tone with onboard EQ and a built-in tuner for quick adjustments. The nato neck with Ovangkol fingerboard feels instantly familiar, offering smooth playability for both classical and crossover styles. Chrome open-gear tuners keep things solid and accurate, while factory-fitted Hannabach Goldin strings complete the setup with bright trebles and rich bass response. A true all-round nylon for players who like to mix traditional tone with modern reliability.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionWarm cedar voice
The CS24 Celebrity Standard Nylon leans on a solid cedar top and quartersawn fan bracing to deliver the kind of warm, expressive tone nylon players love. Notes speak quickly, vibrato blooms, and arpeggios feel effortless thanks to the responsive top. That centre soundhole keeps projection focused and natural, so you get a clear fundamental with sweet overtones for classical pieces, Latin grooves and contemporary fingerstyle alike. It’s a confident, musical voice that sits beautifully in a mix or solo
Comfortable roundback body
Ovation’s mid-depth Lyrachord roundback keeps weight down and comfort up, making long practice sessions and gigs easier on the shoulders. The moulded bowl helps reduce feedback on stage while giving you a consistent low-end push and smooth mids. With the handy cutaway, upper-fret runs are there when you need them, and the cream binding with multi-part purfling tidies everything up visually. It’s a smart, gig-friendly body that balances projection, comfort and durability
Stage-ready electronics
Plug straight in and sound great with the CT-600A Slimline pickup feeding the OP-4CT preamp. You get a natural, mic-like character with strong feedback resistance, plus a handy built-in tuner and 3-band EQ for quick tweaks under lights. Dynamics come through clearly, and the amplified tone stays consistent from rehearsal room to venue PA. No fuss, no mystery settings, just a reliable signal that engineers and bandmates will thank you for
Classical feel, modern playability
A 650 mm scale and a 48 mm nut set you up with familiar classical spacing, while the nato neck and Ovangkol fingerboard feel smooth and stable under the hand. Open-gear Ovation Classics in chrome keep tuning tidy, and the factory-fitted Hannabach Goldin 725MHT strings partners crisp treble with supportive bass. The inlaid abalone rosette adds a touch of class, rounding out a nylon that blends traditional feel with modern reliability for everyday players
