Applause Elite Series guitars are the perfect example of Ovation’s simultaneous commitments to innovation, performance, and tradition while living up to your expectations of a quality instrument. This stealthy, black lacquer finish Applause Elite model includes Ovation-inspired appointments such as a layered spruce top, scalloped X bracing, and laser-cut, multi-port sound holes. The headstock design creates a sleek aesthetic, while the fast-playing neck, Ovangkol fretboard, and bridge along with the composite Lyrachord® (R) mid-depth body allows for effortless playing. The CE304T preamp with an onboard tuner is paired with the Ovation Slimline pickup to give players top-grade electronics that offer incredible clarity, definition, and tonal balance.
