#Applause guitar serial number lookup for free#

Interesting, we just had a similar request on the Canadian Guitar Forum. 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! Some of the questions I've had on my mind lately include: - Were all Applause guitars made by Ovation in some way? 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 American, some Korean, others elsewhere. In fact, the sticker in the bowl doesn't even mention Ovation, just 'A Kaman Music Product.' Some Applause models bear their birthplace. The Applause logo is not the Ovation variant. It's got a pretty hip rosette and pick guard. By the look of it, I know it has to be from at least the 70's. Not even Applause's archival page mentions this particular model. There isn't much information about these older guitars out there on the net. Far as it may be from a Martin, Guild, or Taylor, it sounds and handles pretty good for something hardly possessing much wood.

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). This is my first post, and to coincide with my n00bness, it's a question about a real beater of a guitar. The AE48, part of the Summit Series, is the successful result of Ovations endeavor. Ovations goal was to design a guitar that is affordable, but having the sound and tone of a more expensive instrument. The Ovation website lists all serial numbers and their corresponding dates of manufacture with three-digit serial numbers ranging from 1966 to 1973 and six-digit serial numbers occurring from 1972 to 2013. Ovation makes it easy for a guitar owner to determine the manufacture date of his guitar.
