Applause Guitars by Kaman Applause Preamp
1990s
This is the onboard preamp control panel from an Applause guitar, a budget-oriented brand manufactured by Kaman Music Corporation, the parent company of Ovation Guitars. The panel features two slider potentiometers labeled TONE and GAIN, each with a 0-10 scale, mounted on a black housing. Applause guitars were produced as more affordable alternatives to Ovation instruments, sharing similar acoustic-electric design philosophies.
