This is my first post, and to coincide with my n00bness, it's a question about a real beater of a guitar. I have an Applause AA15, a freebie from a friend's dad who had an extra 12-string who didn't know what to do with it (he himself had gotten it for free from someone). Far as it may be from a Martin, Guild, or Taylor, it sounds and handles pretty good for something hardly possessing much wood. There isn't much information about these older guitars out there on the net. Not even Applause's archival page mentions this particular model.

By the look of it, I know it has to be from at least the 70's. It's got a pretty hip rosette and pick guard. The Applause logo is not the Ovation variant. In fact, the sticker in the bowl doesn't even mention Ovation, just 'A Kaman Music Product.' Some Applause models bear their birthplace. Some American, some Korean, others elsewhere. I'd love to know the history behind this thing, so I'm wondering if anyone here knows a thing or two about this brand.

Some of the questions I've had on my mind lately include: - Were all Applause guitars made by Ovation in some way? - How many countries made Applause guitars? - In these older aluminum and plastic models, have anyone tried to adjust nuts and saddles to actually better the sound? So, thanks for any input!

Interesting, we just had a similar request on the Canadian Guitar Forum. () I suggested to the poster that he could email his questions to: He did but, they seem to be really slow to respond. I also suggested that he contact any long time Ovation / Celebrity / Applause dealers. This he did and lucked out getting all the info he was looking for his model from one source.

I can't remember how much info there is on Applause, however, it is a very interesting read.

The early Applause guitars did not say Ovation on them, because the plan was to sell them through a distributor rather than the Ovation sales force. The concept was to make cheaper copies of their own guitars before someone else did, and the goal was to build them with only one man-hour of labor involved. I don't think they ever reached that goal, but I believe that they were able to build them in less than 2 1/2 hours of man-hours. They used the same back as the Ovations, but had a laminated top (Ovations were solid), and as someone mentioned, the necks were aluminum, and the fretboard, support rod, headstock, and frets were one piece. Then they molded the back of the neck out of a plastic material, and finished it to feel 'just like mahogany!' They were introduced in 1976 or 1977, and were built in Connecticut.

There was one big difficulty. The aluminum frets tended to wear quickly, and could not be replaced. The original plan had been that the necks would be easily interchangeable, and that you could have the entire neck replaced for less than it would cost to replace frets on a wooden fretboard. That never became a popular selling point. The next step was to cover the aluminum frets with nickel plating, which helped a little, but they still seemed to wear quickly. Around 1982 or 1983, they moved production of the Applause guitars to Korea, and at some point after that, they did away with the aluminum necks. About that same time, they introduced the Celebrity series priced to be between the Applause and Ovation brands.
