I picked up an absolutly mint Ovation Applause AE 28 elecro acoustic yesterday for very little money .Came with a Shubb capo and a very nice gig bag . I cant determine the age as Ovation dont list Applause serial numbers on the web page but if my memory serves they were around 1980-90.
Well done!! Some of those Applause's were on par with the Ovations they were copying .. particularly the early ones!!
Cheers

Yeah I have another which I have had about 20 yrs and its great .this one needs the action lowering a little to make it as playable as the other but it sounds good so far .Plus they are nice and light to lug around . I plan to fit a humbucker and some 9 guage strings to make it a little more like an electric hollow body
I can definitely appreciate an NGD.
Congratulations.
Ive fitted the 9g strings and set the action and it plays great acoustically but plugged in the peizo is a bit bright so when I put the humbucker in I will try it again but I think it may need some dampening inside the body to get a better electric tone . I plan to intall the humbucker into a sound hole plug and then via aswitch into the current volume and tone circuit
