Joe Pinter, instructor at R&H Music in Massillon ,Ohio, plays a rare bird. The Applause AE14-1 was manufactured in Moosup, CT sometime between 1978 and 1982 according to our friends at Kaman.
Nice, I just got an AE 14-9 given to me. Really ruff condition. Any suggestion what to do about worn out frets. They got groves from the strings. Is there a neck available for replacement? Any help is greatly appreciated.
I've begun collecting Moosup Applauses and I even have the 1000th one made, signed by all the factory workers and Bill Kaman. They can be great guitars. My favorite is an AA14-1 like the one in this video that was trashed when it arrived. I performed surgery on it and now it's scary good.
I've had the same acoustic for the last 22 years, an Applause AA12. These are wonderful instruments and relatively on the less expensive(cheap) side... Mine is a 1981, the date of manufacture is ink stamped between the neck and body(where it unbolts). Love the sound and playability. Good job on the video!!!
