Applause by Ovation Guitar Catalog 2004
Year: 2004
A review of the Applause AE28 electro-acoustic guitar published in Guitarist magazine (September 1996), written by Dominic Hilton. The review covers the guitar's construction, featuring a composite shallow bowl, laminated spruce top, mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, and passive piezo preamp system, priced at £199. The reviewer concludes it is a unique budget electro-acoustic with good playability but notes cosmetic and tonal limitations compared to its more expensive Ovation counterparts.
