Feature:
every thing I wanted in a guitar,espicialy the kneck, I have small hands, and it is the most comfortable and playable guitar I have played. Materials, the finish is outstanding, mine is chery red, beautiful. I was able to ajust quite easely to my liking. the preamp is not the best, but very nice for a $199 guitar.

Quality:
for $199, it is a 10 all around for qualiy, the finish isbreathtakingly beautiful, no loose parts, or blemishes. I honestly can say ther are nor worse quality to this guitar. Ithink this guitar will last for many many years.

Sound:
very good sound espicialy pluged in. Not as deep or rich as my other acustic,Made by Sunlte} but very nice soundin even straight accustic.

Support:
No experence, I baught mine at a dealer who mathched the price.

Overall:
I expect to behappy with this guitar for many years. The only reason I would search for anothe Ovation, is if this gets destroyed in an accident, or I pass it on to my daughter. What I like most about this guitar asides from it's looks, and excelent construction. is how playable it is, and what a nice sound it has.

Quality:
I liked how they designed everything but would have perfered the back to be wood.

Value:
Ovation is a good brand and for 200 I say that you are getting a good guitar for the money.

Desirability:
It has a good shaped body and I love it in black

Sound:
It has a brighter sound than most acoustics which isnt a bad thing because I was actually looking for something a little brighter.

Support:
no problems what so ever

Overall:
For the price looks and everything else I would recomend this to someone who is new to guitar or need something to mess around without spending a fortune.

Feature:
It could have a few more better features but great. I especially enjoy the rosewood neck!!

Quality:
Ovation is great and this hasn't had a problem for 7 months.

Overall:
AMAZING PRODUCT!! BUY IT NOW!!!

Quality:
Excellent for 2nd guitar or for practice or even for tracking if you like to tweak sound.

Value:
I like it, I think that what's matter.

Desirability:
I do own it, and plan to keep it.

Sound:
A little bit thin, light but bright. Very nice for leading a small group of people in singing without a need of amp. If you need more warmth and depth, then you need an outboard fx. I used it for 4 years now, 3 years with steel strings and for the last year with nylon. Can be useful for tracking, easy to tweak with digital recording.

Support:
So far no problem.

This guitar is enjoyable to play, natural and even has that unique sound that I discover.

I don't think I'll ever give this guitar up! I have bought manu since, but nothing compares, I always end up with this one in my hands!!

Feature:

Quality:

Value:
its plastic... for the price you would be better off looking at cheaper wooden plate guitars... just maek sure they have rod

Sound:
this guitar sounds much fuller with an amp hooked up than without. however, the way it handles is far surperior to any other acoutic i have ever played.

Quality:
made beautifully.

Value:
Fair price.

Sound:
Great first guitar. The sounds are sweet and it's easy to play.

Feature:
You play this guitar WITH a strap, & the shallow bowl shape molds right into your body(kinda like a Strat!). You can turn the neck at an angle to get a great playing position either standing or sitting, so it isn't akward to play standing like alot of regular acoustics. The Applause is super "ergo"!!!! The neck is narrow & fast with a light electric-like action. If you're an electric player looking for the perfect affordable acoustic /electric, THE APPLAUSE IS A MUST BUY!!! GET IT NOW!! It has a simple, PASSIVE EQ which is just fine for a $199.00 guitar!! Again, you will be impressed when you plug in!! The Applause is a WORK OF ART too!!! It's SOOOOO beautiful...mahogany neck, rosewood fretboard, shallow-cutaway, nice binding all-around....YES, IT'S SEXY looking & sounding...you will covet this axe!!! Oh yeah...it's light too & doesn't tire your shoulder or neck. BUY IT TODAY!!

Quality:
This guitar is a 10 for quality. Made in China is VALUE here people!! This is an excellent instrument(a Chinese Ovation WORKS FOR ME YO!!)!! I bought this as a backup guitar & I play it more than any other!! It will last a lifetime with reasonable care...the finish is stunning...seriously, the Black Beauty is the one!!!! PLEEZE buy the Applause!

Value:
VALUE in a guitar is DEFINED by the Applause....BUY IT NOW...I'M SERIOUS...You will love it!!!!!!!!!!

Desirability:
If guitars can be sexy (they can & are) this one fits the bill...at a jam this weekend my bandmate walked in when I was playing the Black Beauty...he grabbed it & I never got my hands back on it till he left...good thing "The Natural" was IN THE HOUSE!!! You will love the sheer genius of the bowl design!!!!!!!

Sound:
The sound from this BEAUTY will amaze you!! The harmonics coming from the bowl are incredible & it sounds impressive plugged in...A MUST HAVE ITEM guitarists!!! It is ULTRA SWEET!!!!!!!! BUY THE APPLAUSE!!

Support:
I don't anticipate any issues with this baby!!! No need for support yet!

Overall:
Remember, I bought a second one within a week...compared to a Fender Stratocoustic the Applause wins hands down!!!!!! If you want quality, value & appeal all in one, buy the Applause AE-28!!! I own 12 guitars, including Stratocasters, Les Paul, Washburn...etc....The Applause holds its' own AND HOW!!!!!!!!!!! BUY IT & FALL IN LOVE!!!!!

Sound:
the resonance and sustain in the structure is unbelievable. You can actually hear it hum, a sort of melodic ambiance to the background of your strumming or picking. Truly worth the bargain price.
