Product Description
The new line of Applause guitars showcases Ovation’s forward thinking while retaining the high standard of performance expected from a quality instrument. Our new Applause Balladeer models include traditional Ovation appointments such as a spruce top, Scalloped-X bracing, and abalone inlaid rosette. A sleeker headstock design creates an aesthetic that many others aspire to. An Ovangkol finger board/bridge and mid depth bowl allow for effortless and comfortable playing. To tie everything together, we’ve also updated the electronics to the new CE304T preamp. Paired with our Ovation slim line pickup, you won’t believe your ears when you hear the incredible voice and clarity found within this guitar.

Have many guitars but needed a special purpose with the hybrid neck classical to learn a specific style...well built and quality materials and workmanship for the price for sure. I will lower the action slightly but came set up just fine for a beginner for sure!
Top reviews from other countries
I was looking for a nylon string guitar with a narrower neck than most classicals for playing things like Signe, Tears in Heaven and Shape of my Heart. The built in tuner and bridge pick-up are a bonus.
After filing down the saddle to lower the action, the guitar is super playable and very easy on the fingers.
It projects like an Ovation and has nice tone. I went with the spruce top and would say the tone leans toward bright rather than warm.
I've seen some criticism that it needs frequent tuning, but I think this is more a characteristic of breaking in new nylon strings (cause they're stretchy) than of anything to do with the guitar structure or tuners. And bonus, it has a built in tuner, right.
A really great guitar for the price.
