It was almost 40 years ago when Ovation first rocked the acoustic guitar world with the Roundback body design. Today, that same design and many other technical advancements are available in the Applause Summit Series guitars. With pro features like onboard preamps, pinless bridges, and detailed fretwork, the Summit Series outshines any other guitar in its class.
Made by Ovation, the AA21 features the composite body with deep bowl back that gives Ovations their unique look and full sound. Spruce top provides resonant tone. 25-1/4" scale. 20 frets. Ovation applied 30-odd years of guitarmaking innovation to design an affordable guitar that doesn't sound like an affordable guitar. The Summit Series is proof of that.
These guitars boast a bigger sound than guitars costing twice as much. In a large part that's due to the Lyrachord body - the same type of body as the U.S.A.-made body found on its upscale Ovation brothers. Its roundback shape capitalizes on the structural power of the arch freeing the insides of sound-deadening bracing that traditional-style guitars require
The award-winning value is due to its heritage of being born on the drawing tables at Ovation.
