The new line of Applause guitars showcases Ovation’s forward thinking while retaining the high standard of performance expected from a quality instrument. Our new Applause Elite models include traditional Ovation appointments such as a spruce top, scalloped-X bracing, and laser-cut multi-sound holes. A new headstock design creates a sleek aesthetic, while the Ovangkol fretboard, bridge and mid-depth bowl allow for effortless playing. The CE304T preamp is paired with the Ovation Slimline pickup to give players upgraded electronics that offer incredible clarity, definition and tonal balance.
