Location: PA | I am new here and I recently bought a cs257. My question is why are some of the celebrity series called deluxe and some not? I am trying to figure out what year mine is. It has a blue sticker on the inside and it says "celebrity deluxe" while other celebrities do not say deluxe. Any help with the year would be great.
Thanks |

But I think that Celebrity Deluxe means that it has Multiple sound-holes (epaulets).
Plain ol' Celebrity's have center sound-holes.
But I could be wrong...
Could just be that adding "Deluxe" is a marketing gimmick with no real meaning. |

As far as a year, what is the model number? That will help narrow it down a little, but generaqlly you'll never get closer than a range of yers. It's not like the US models where they had a numbering sequence that you could map back to when it was made.
And totally NOT a dumb questions. Welcome to the OFC. What kind of tunes do you play? |

Location: PA | I have seen the cs257 with the multi-holes with 2 different stickers. Ovation Celebrity and Ovation Celebrity Deluxe.I have not found anyone that can answer this one. I play a little of everything but mainly country/rock. I will post up a serial number when I get home. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I'm with OMA. Every Celebrity Deluxe I've seen, including the 2 I've owned, have been the multi-hole models and Celebrities were centerhole. Ovation may have changed that recently, but that's how it was for years. |

Location: PA | So, If the sticker does not say "deluxe", it still can be? Correct? Just trying to clear this up. |
