Applause by Ovation AE 28 Test

This is just some fooling around with some picking and some random chords just to show how the guitar sounds.

I'm an electric guitar player...just getting it out there. I wanna buy this guitar, but I don't want to buy an amp straight away. Can I just play the guitar normally? It'll just be in my bedroom; just because it's a shallow body and stuff I'm not sure. Help me out mate?

[BuyMeAGibson]

@klummster88 Yeah of course, its like any other acoustic guitar except that the sound is completely unique given its body shape.

[thinlinefan]

it has, somekind of it's own sound, it's not as full as a normal acoustic guitar is it?

how would you rate/recommend it?

[BuyMeAGibson]

@thinlinefan You're exactly right. It is not as full as a dreadnaught guitar. It has it's own very unique sound.

I would recommend it but only based on certain genres of music.

[kapiten06]

ncie sound. what kind of string do you use?

[BuyMeAGibson]

@kapiten06 I believe they were D'addario 9's or 10's

[damitw]

What do you mean with 'certain genres of music'? I like playing Jack Johnson, Oasis, Coldplay... Would it be OK for that genre? Please tell me so I can decide, thanks!

crisp and sharp even with size 11 sets.

i have ae 28 for 12 years now. coloration of body and frets never change. i use it everyday at work. dropped it several times just minor scratches but the highest e strings gone crazy i thought i need an allen wrench to tune it back to normal. repaired the pick-up once it's doing ok now. but the main characteristic of this guitar is that it has CRISP-SHARP sound that i need to almost turn the treble off add more mid and lows on my mixer.

[staceyfenster]

would you recommend this guitar for me to buy? i play rhthym for my church praise band so it would be mostly contemporary christian music and chords.

[steakbread]

I've owned an AE 28 for 13 years. This thing has been all over US and Canada with me, camping... played hard by myself and dozens of others through the years, I love it there are a few cracks on the finish but that just adds to the character of the guitar I have also a Gibson, Washburn, taylor, and ibanez, they all sit in their cases as i almost exclusively play my ae 28 when i'm not whaling my 7 string ibanez electric, i couldn't be happier with this guitar plays better than it did when new

[01eximius]

Would you recommend this as a good entry level guitar? I've played acoustic and electric before and have a bit of experience, but this was a few years ago. I just want a comfortable guitar to play around with whilst lounging about. I like everything from bob dylan to linkin park, I don't want to be limited in what I can play. I don't want to get an electric because I don't want to have to use an amp to get a decent sound, I don't want an acoustic because they're massive. Is this a good choice?

@TMASONW more than a feelling boston

[TMASONW]

wtf is the first song u played its awsome and i totaly forget who it is

[anthonyring123]

i have a applause guitar from 77' it was my step-grandpas then my step-dads for a long time, and now its mine, and i find it kool that the older the guitar the better it sounds, so i would match it up to a gibson mabye a martin

[papertrailboi]

is this guitar better or the applause deluxe multi sound hole guitar
