Ovation Applause Elite With Ovation Deluxe Plus Gig Bag Mid Black Satin AE44-5S

Description

This Applause Elite Series guitar is 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 satin finished 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® mid-depth body allow for effortless playing. The CE304T preamp with onboard tuner is paired with the Ovation Slimline pickup to give players top-grade electronics that offer incredible clarity, definition and tonal balance.
All of that before even mentioning how eye catching the satin black finish is, and how it's complimented by the tasteful ivory white purfling on the body and binding on the neck that make it look really awesome. And just look at those cool black chrome tuners and strap pegs, super sharp!
The guitar shown is the one you’ll get, and as much as you can see in the photos, this is a real beauty with a satin finish and cool hardware. Just so happens it sounds great too. So be assured you will look and sound great with this guitar even if you're just starting out. But if you're already a good player, you'll find this a very capable acoustic electric guitar. You can play this guitar without amplifying it and get a nice projective sound, and you can also plug in to any amp or PA and get a great sound with the 3-band equalizer and built-in tuner.
Here you won't break the bank and you can still own a brand new, brand name, distinctive and beautiful guitar that's worthy of showing off for it's looks and playability. And to help keep it nice, included is a new Ovation Deluxe Plus Gig Bag that offers more protection than a standard gig bag and is specifically designed with extra padding for your mid-depth Applause guitar.
