Since 1966, Ovation has been making their famous roundback guitars after discovering that the flat back of an acoustic guitar actually hindered the balance and projection of the instrument. The roundback design improved projection, offered better tonal balance from bass through treble, and made for a stronger and more rugged instrument. Applause ukuleles also make use of Ovation’s innovative roundback design, helping the gorgeous little Applause Ukuleles gain worldwide popularity. And no wonder – the roundback body is particularly effective in projecting the midrange and bright tones of the uke, giving it surprising volume and clarity.
OVATION AE147-5 APPLAUSE ROUNDBACK ELECTRO ACOUSTIC GUITAR
Bowlback, roundback, or semi-parabolic body shape. Regardless at what you call them, the Ovation guitar's shape projects more sound into the audience.
Ovation have found that by replacing the single sound hole with multiple soundholes on the upper bout reduces the guitar's weight without sacrificing any strength, resulting in a powerful acoustic sound with incredible low end drive.
The Ovation Applause Deluxe AE147 uses the same USA-manufactured Lyrachord bowl as on rest of the Ovation range allowing Ovation to produce an affordable guitar that doesn’t certainly sound like an affordable guitar. If you want to sample the Ovation experience, the Applause is your best starting point.
