Ovation Applause AE44-7S Mid-depth Acoustic-electric Guitar - Vintage Varnish Satin Reviews
The Ovation Applause AE44-7S Mid-depth Acoustic-electric Guitar is a fantastic option for novice and veteran players alike, boasting Ovation's highly lauded design innovations at a wallet-friendly price. Ovation made sure to include their trademark lyrachord body in the Applause AE44-7S, maximizing internal vibrations and resonance while adding to the overall balanced sound of the guitar. Capped with an ovangkol fingerboard, the nato neck is shaped similar to what is found on modern-day electric guitars — it's thinner than comparable necks for a significant speed boost in complete comfort. Sweetwater strummers always appreciate the convenience of onboard electronics, and the Applause AE44-7S's CE304T Preamp delivers the goods. The 3-band EQ boosts and cuts frequencies where needed, with a handy tuner to keep everything sounding its absolute best.

Dream Guitar
Guitar was everything I expected and more!!
On a second note getting it to me was a total nightmare but Grant was there every step of the way to make it happen, great customer service is an understatement to what he does
She loves it!!
I bought the guitar as a Christmas gift for my wife. She had one as a teenager and it somehow got lost years later. I got this one as a replacement. She loves the resonance, it's different from a regular guitar body and is less awkward when sitting to play.
Same Model Applause Guitar.
I own the exact same model and color Ovation Applause guitar. I have had it for four, going on five years. I can only speak for mine but two things hold true with this guitar. Inspecting it you would never know it was a budget guitar from Ovation. Unlike other guitars from other brands, the Applause Guitars come off the same build line as their more expensive brothers and sisters and it shows. Mine has wonderful sound and I have received scads of compliments about how it looks. There is a learning curve with Ovation backs. You have to balance the guitar differently while playing it sitting down or standing up. Like all Ovations this guitar really comes into its own when plugged into an amplifier. Its stage presence is remarkable. The only minor gripe I have about this guitar is the built-in tuner is not as accurate as I would like it to be. This is a problem with many guitar brands that include tuners in their guitar electronics. Not just Ovation. Normally I don't write reviews on companies web site unless I have bought the product from them. This time it's different. For two reasons. This guitar (color) was discontinued by Ovation for a couple of years. At least I could not find it for sale new anywhere. My second reason is so many of my friends asked where they could purchase one and I didn't have an answer for them. Now I do. Good job Sweetwater and Ovation.
What A Great Guitar!
I must say this guitar is very well made and I am very pleased with it. The tuning works perfectly right from the start and the first song I played on it
was George Harrison " My Sweet Lord " The sound of this thing is sweet and got that awesome acoustic tone, I love it and thanks to Jorge Padilla
for getting shipped to me just in time for Christmas! Thanks Jorge, it is always a pleasure doing business with you.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
