Celebrity Standard Exotic

Ovation's legendary approach to acoustic/electric guitars continues with the Celebrity Collection. The CS24P model is a Celebrity Standard Exotic. This means that it features a standard center-soundhole design with a beautiful exotic wood layered top. Chosen for beauty, the unique exotic woods add a stunning visual to a guitar that plays fast thanks to a satin-finished neck. Scalloped X-bracing and Ovation’s Lyrachord mid-depth roundback give this model a rich, full sound, while providing more comfort than a deeper traditional dreadnaught body. Setting the live performance bar high, the CS24P incorporates the combination of an Ovation Slimline pickup and OP-4BT preamp system which enables players to dial in the perfect tone on stage. The Celebrity Collection offers pro looks, feel and tone, but is designed with the progressing player in mind.

Sonic Performance

Acoustically, the CS24P model starts with a Mid-Depth Lyrachord Roundback cutaway body joined to a thin, layered tonewood soundboard with an exotic wood top. Voiced for natural acoustic tone, optimal response and power, the body and top create the classic Ovation sound. Ovation’s legendary acoustic/electric performance has been a category leader since the early 1970s. For superior live sound, the Ovation Slimline pickup and OP-4BT preamp system are installed. The preamp features a three-band EQ, volume/gain control, an onboard tuner and a low-battery light. The high quality pickup and pro preamp make this guitar cut through the mix and resist feedback, even at higher volumes.

Sleek Neck

Celebrity models are crafted with a satin-finished mahogany neck. A soft 'V' shape and a narrower neck width give it a very slim feel. The neck radius is the measurement of the arc of the fretboard and has affects playability. Celebrity models have a 10" radius, feeling more like an electric guitar than other flatter radius acoustics. A curved radius also makes chording easier. The neck has a 20 fret Ovangkol Fretboard and the guitar has a shorter scale length of 25.3"(643mm). The satin finish, smaller nut, slightly smaller scale length, and 10" fingerboard radius all combine to give Celebrity models a fast feel.

Stunning Beauty

The Celebrity Standard Exotic models are uncommonly gorgeous. We sought out unique, figured exotic woods to add an elegant touch to these high performance instruments. Choose from Figured Koa, a Nutmeg finished Burled Maple, or the Transparent Black finish over Flamed Maple for an instrument that looks as good as it sounds.

User questions & answers

Question:	does D'addario have heavy gauge strings for a 7 string? I really liked the extra heavy 12/60 strings for my 6 strings, do you have that for a 7 string
Answer:	You should look into ghs boomers. They have some heavy sets.
Question:	Are these strings coated? The "XL" implies so
Answer:	NYXL strings are not coated, and XL is just a product series/family name, which does not imply any specific product specs. - Steve @ D'Addario
Question:	So what do you Blues players have to say about these strings
Answer:	Depends on the type of blues you play.... If you lean more toward "Delta", you probably wont like these much 'cause they give you more bottom end and highs and get rid of that muddy low-mid much sought-after in that style. Otherwise, many of us who pursue the more recent guitar gods (aka Hendrix, Stevie Ray, Page, etc.) will probably find these strings to be a nice "push" - to some, it will be like adding well-needed air to a deflating balloon.
Question:	What is thw difference between Balanced and Not Balanced versions
Answer:	In producing a Balanced Tension set, D'Addario has attempted to make the string tension of all six strings as equal as possible. The benefit to the play is that pressing on one string feels essentially the same as pressing on any other string. This is especially important for string-bending. Once you learn how much pressure is necessary to bend one string to increase the pitch 1/2 step (for example), the same pressure will increase the pitch 1/2 step on any other string.

Product description

Strum confidently with the same premium acoustic guitar strings that experienced players worldwide trust to keep their incredible tone longer than any other string available. Unlike other string brands, Elixir Strings coats the whole string. This protects not only the outer string surface but also the gaps between the windings where common tone-deadening gunk typically builds up in other brands’ coated and uncoated guitar strings. Anti-Rust Plating on plain steel strings ensures longer tone life for the entire set. Who wouldn’t love more quality playing time between the hassle and cost of string changes? Engineered to endure, these acoustic strings constructed with phosphor bronze wrap wire boast a dynamic balance of rich, full-bodied tone and sparkling high-end clarity. Compared to our original POLYWEB Coating, the ultra-thin NANOWEB Coating allows a more traditionally textured, “uncoated” feel. For a slicker, gentler feel, try a set of strings with our original POLYWEB Coating. The 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings with POLYWEB Coating, for example, might be a good fit if you want a more robust and rounded tone. On the other end of the tone spectrum, our 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings with NANOWEB Coating deliver a brighter, crisper tone alongside the same traditional feel as these phosphor bronze strings. Of course, the kind of string you play is all a matter of personal preference. Not sure what tone or feel is right for you? Try them out for yourself, and find your new favorite string from Elixir Strings. For a more in-depth look at what makes our strings so special, scroll to the branded info further down the page.

User questions & answers

Question:	Would you recommend this for a Taylor 816ce
Answer:	I have a 614ce and these are perfect! The custom lights (.11) are also acceptable but you may lose some volume, still they sound good. I would play around with gauges and get the best feel and sound for you! Taylors are high class!
Question:	how many strings are in the package
Answer:	This is a full set of 6 strings for acoustic guitar.
Question:	Are all 6 strings supposed to be bronze and nano coated, or are the E-1 and B-2 anti-rust plain steel
Answer:	On the individual strings' paper packets, only the wound strings (G-3 through E-6) have "Nanoweb coating" text. The E-1 and B-2 strings say "anti-rust plain steel" instead.
Question:	What is the difference in sound between an 80/20 and phosphor bronze please? And poly and nano web? Which is warmer, less bright
Answer:	80/20 is very bright and crisp... Phosphor bronze is far more articulate and warm. And over all a more balanced sound. Hence why they cost a bit more than 80/20. As for poly vs nano? Poly has more coating to protect the strings.. But dull the sound a bit. Nano has less coating but last a bit less than poly. Hope that helps.

Made For Musicians Who Just Want To Play More Music

Ever since pioneering coated string technology in 1997, our reason for making premium guitar strings has remained simple—we want you to have more quality playing time between the hassle and cost of string changes. And gig after gig, session after session, lesson after lesson, we’ve delivered. In fact, experienced players worldwide trust our corrosion-defying strings to keep their tone longer than any other brand’s coated or uncoated strings,* and we’re proud to stand as America’s #1 acoustic guitar string brand.**

Thanks to the unique differences between metals and coatings, we offer a long-lasting set for any style. From bright and sparkling to rich and robust, the dynamic range of available sound is yours for the picking. Of course, finding the string that’s right for you is a matter of personal preference.

Less Sweat, Debris, And Finger Squeak

The way your strings sound has a lot to do with what you normally can’t see. While both of our patented coatings reduce noisy finger squeak, they also cut down on a large number of other pesky annoyances common to your average uncoated string. Sweat, skin, dirt, and even air, for example, can do a lot of damage to your strings. And if you live in a hot, humid area, the moisture in the atmosphere can wreak total havoc on your strings’ tone life. But with Elixir Strings, you’re getting world-class protection that’s engineered to endure.

Polyweb Coating Vs NANOWEB Coating

POLYWEB Coating was our first coated string innovation all the way back in the '90s. It tends to warm and mellow the string’s tone and has a fast, slick feel that’s gentle on the fingers, which lets players keep jamming without the strings getting in the way. As a response to players who said they prefer a more traditional feel, NANOWEB Coating was then designed. This ultra-thin coating allows a brighter, crisper tone while offering the same amount of tone-life protection as its predecessor.

Coated Like No Other

Unlike other string brands, Elixir Strings coats the whole string. This protects not only the outer string surface but also the gaps between the windings where common tone-deadening gunk typically builds up in other brands’ coated and uncoated guitar strings. That’s why Elixir strings retain their tone longer than any other brand’s string, coated or uncoated. Simply put, build-up and corrosion kill your tone, and Elixir strings protect against elements that cause build-up and corrosion. All while sounding exactly how you’d expect a premium set of strings to sound.

Anti-Rust Plating

Corrosion protection between wrap wire windings is all well and good, but you may be asking yourself, 'What about the strings that don’t have a wrap wire?' And we’re proud to tell you, don’t worry—we’ve got those covered too. Literally. With our signature Anti-Rust Plating, even your plain steel strings defy the elements. This ensures longer tone life not just for your coated wound strings, but for your entire set. When we say you’ll have more gigging, jamming, touring, or practice time between string changes, we mean it.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do these work with first act acoustic guitars
Answer:	They should work with most guitars. My guess is they will be way too long, but can be cut down. Make sure you do it after stringing and cut both wires on the wound strings so they don't unravel.I had to cut off about 8 inches on my acoustic Seagull.
Question:	Have a EJ200 Epiphone. Would like to replace strings. What type of D'Addario strings do I use
Answer:	I have a 45 year old Martin d-28 I use the extra light strings EJ 15 3 Dbecause I like to fingerpickthey have a very good warm soundif your guitar is fairly new try the light gauge strings they sound very good too and you can buy 3 packs for under $15 at Amazon. D'Addario makes a good string and I find they last a long time. I highly recommend!
Question:	I bought these for my son and the first two strings broke when he was putting them on. We are on the third set in twenty minutes
Answer:	When you put on a string, you have to allow enough slack for the string to coil around the tuner post. Feed the string through and leave enough slack so you can pull the string about 4 inches above the fret board and then slowly wind it up and as it tightens, pause once in a while let the string stretch. Some strings can take a day to stretch, some don't. Be patient. Good luck...but if you don't leave slack for coiling strings will break.
Question:	So does this come with all 6 strings? Im completely new to guitars
Answer:	Yes, this is a full set.Specifically this is a set of 3. If you want just one select the 1 pack. (I tried to include a link but Amazon defaults it to the 3 pack for some reason)It is possible to look up and find individual strings, but honestly that ends up being more difficult in my opinion and for the cost you might as well grab a set.I am fairly new to guitars as well, so let me just take a moment to say these strings are highly recommended. Great choice.

Answer:	It means it's a 3-pack. 3 sets of strings.
Question:	Are these good for ovation and easy on fingers
Answer:	EJ15 has slightly more copper and less tin than EJ10, or so I'm told. For me it is simply the sound.

Our goal has always been to make the best guitars possible – guitars that people fall in love with over and over again. We believe that the strings, the very last critical ingredient to the guitar making process, are the vocal cords of any fine guitar. This is why we make our own.

The company, founded in the U.S. has been continuously family owned and operated for six generations. Currently headed by Chairman and CEO Christian Frederick Martin IV, the company has been handed down five times since it was started by German immigrant Christian Frederick Martin Sr. in 1833. "Our signature product and Martin's seamless tradition of quality to this day remain a significant source of pride for my family and all of those who are involved in crafting these extraordinary instruments," said Martin Guitar Chairman and CEO Christian Frederick Martin IV. Embraced by artists all over the world, the Martin guitar has helped define virtually all genres of music, from classical and country to blues, folk and acoustic rock.

User questions & answers

Question:	What would be the best string size to use on a used acoustic guitar to be played by a 9 year old boy
Answer:	These definitely squeak and make noise.
Question:	Can I put nylon strings on a guitar that use to have metal
Answer:	yes
Question:	Are the first 3 strings nylon
Answer:	Yes. It's made of all natural rubber.
Question:	What would be the downside of putting these strings on an old classical guitar I bought for $25. Would it cause the neck to bow
Answer:	The company doesn't say specifically what kind of paint is used on their natural rubber toys. I have emailed the company 4 times to find more information but all they will tell me is that all the paints used are "non-toxic". They do have a little question answer portion on their website that says that their is no such thing as food-grade paint so I doubt that the paint on their products are. I like Rich Frog and Lanco for natural rubber baby toys...they are in general more affordable than Vulli, Nitrosamine free, and use all soy based paints. Hope that helps you out. Sorry I didn't see your question sooner.
