Applause by Ovation AE28 Summit Acoustic-Electric Guitar (Ss Ruby Red)
zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Super Shallow Cutaway. Ruby Red finish. Picture shows Red Woodstain.

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.

Body Type: Super Shallow Cutaway

Top: Spruce

Scale Length: 25-1/4 in.

Nut Width: 1-11/16 in.

Frets: 20

Preamp: DJ-2

"Smooth guitar for a sweet price and it has great durability..."

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
If I were to get a new guitar I would supplement, I will gladly keep this one and keep it for practice and it is durable enough to take it out on a camping trip. You don't have to worry about damage, so why would you get rid of it.
Sound
I enjoy the strong acoustic sound, great guitar for playing through an amp, if you not a resonant sound it isn't the guitar for you, but if you play in a worship band it could be your guitar.
Features
A basic pickup came with it, for the price you can't beat it, the pickup in it definitely isn't professional quality, it isn't an active pickup, but still puts out plenty of power.
Quality
Strong mechanically, no defects and it will hold up just as well, if not better than any other guitar on the market in my opinion. It will last my lifetime.
Value
This product is definitely worth the price that you would pay for it. I haven't regretted the purchase once.
Manufacturer Support
Haven't dealt with them. My guitar is in basically the same shape I bought it in, approximately 2yrs ago.
The Wow Factor
It is a smooth looking guitar, won't throw you off your rocker. It is stylish and sleek, but you can't expect a Jaguar car at a VW Bug price.

Worship and Christian Alternative
