Vintage Charm Meets Modern Innovation: The Ovation Applause Mid-depth

Experience the perfect blend of traditional aesthetics and cutting-edge design with the Ovation Applause Mid-depth Acoustic-electric Guitar in sophisticated Vintage Varnish Satin finish (AE44-7S). This remarkable instrument embodies Ovation's commitment to accessible innovation, featuring a carefully selected spruce top that delivers exceptional tonal clarity and projection. The advanced scalloped, quartersawn X-bracing pattern enhances resonance and dynamic response while allowing the top to vibrate freely, producing rich harmonic content that benefits both acoustic and amplified playing. Ovation's revolutionary multi-soundhole design, positioned on the bass side of the top, works in perfect harmony with the mid-depth Lyrachord® body to provide balanced acoustic output and remarkable feedback resistance during amplified performances.

Thoughtfully designed for the performing musician, this distinctive instrument features a comfortable cutaway that provides effortless access to the upper frets, expanding your playing possibilities. The responsive nato neck provides smooth playability and substantial sustain, complemented by a premium ovangkol fingerboard and bridge that contribute additional tonal warmth and articulation. The instrument's 642mm scale length and precisely cut 42.8mm nut width ensure ideal string tension and spacing for effortless technique. Visual elegance abounds with classic pearloid dot inlays and sophisticated ivory white binding with intricate multi-ply purfling. The integrated Applause CE304T preamp system features intuitive 3-band EQ controls and a built-in tuner for precise tonal shaping, while the reliable black chrome die-cast Ovation machine heads provide exceptional tuning stability. The silk matte satin finish not only enhances the vintage aesthetic but also provides a smooth, comfortable feel that improves with age. This extraordinary instrument delivers professional features and innovative design at a remarkably accessible price point.
