With all the essentials of the classic Ovation Balladeer sound and style, the Applause Balladeer AB24 Acoustic Electric offers a loud and well-defined voice, smooth playability and great value that make it ideal for beginning and intermediate players. Recognized Balladeer hallmarks are here, including the sculpted Applause-style headstock and center sound hole adorned with the classic Applause chevron rosette pattern. Premium features include a laminated spruce top for clearly articulate tone, and a middepth Round back Lyrachord body for greater volume and projection, excellent balance and supreme durability. The guitar also features fast, comfortable action and an easy-playing neck profile, and an Ovation OP-4BT pickup/preamp system with built-in tuner for superior amplified tone and performance.
