Celebrity Exotic Selection: Exceptional top woods and finishes in limited editions. Flamed maple alias Acer Macrophyllum has been a very popular wood in musical instrument making for many years and, due to its properties, is used for the neck, sides, back and top, either in solid form or as a veneer. Maple woods are species-rich and widespread in the temperate latitudes of North America, Europe and Asia. Ovation has its origins in New Hartford / Connecticut, near the wooded coastal areas of the northeastern USA and Canada. For this reason, we have chosen a selected American Flamed Maple for the 2024 edition. To bring out the beautiful grain of the wood even better, a special staining process and a blue burst finish, created especially for this edition, are used. We are very pleased to be able to offer you this beautiful wood at a Celebrity - price with the CE44P-BLFL-G.
