Back to the Future: Ovation Elite 1718 & 1758
To celebrate GEWA’s spectacular 100th anniversary, we’re lighting up a retro firework: The Ovation Elite 1718 (6-string) and 1758 (12-string) are making their comeback – legendary models bringing the iconic sound of the ’80s back to today’s stages. A century of GEWA – and what better way to mark it than with the rebirth of two of Ovation’s most iconic Elite guitars!
With a solid spruce top, deep Lyrachord® body and classic Quintad bracing, these guitars deliver exactly what you’d expect from the original Ovation Elite sound: clarity, warmth, and punch – whether unplugged or amplified. And with the OP-Pro preamp and OCP pickup on board, they sound just as impressive through an amp or PA.
Visually, these models ooze vintage charm: classic sunburst finish, gold tuners, and a sleek 2-tone neck that will make any guitarist’s heart skip a beat.
Bottom line: A piece of guitar history to play, cherish, and fall in love with.

Ovation’s Limited Edition 2026 Steals the Spotlight
The Ovation Celebrity series has always stood for style, comfort, and exceptional sound – and the 2026 Limited Edition raises the bar even higher. Based on the Deluxe models, this guitar is a modern masterpiece: visually stunning, sonically rich, and built to inspire.
Its flamed Gabon mahogany top, selected for its striking grain and warm amber glow, pairs with Quintad bracing and a Deep Contour Lyrachord® GS body to deliver a perfectly balanced voice: rich lows, controlled highs, and sparkling mids. The multi-soundhole design with side ports enhances projection and depth, creating an immersive experience for both player and listener.
Every detail underlines craftsmanship and elegance: gold-plated Pro Series tuners, the new ‘Wave’ multi-hardwood epaulette, and a custom MOP inlay at the 12th fret marked “Inlay Edition 2026” make this guitar a true collectible. The Ovation Celebrity Limited Edition 2026 is more than a guitar – it’s a statement, a performance, and a piece of art.
