Applause Heritage models are primarily equipped with selected spruce or cedar tops.
Of course, they have the classic Ovation features in the basic version, such as the classic Lyrachord roundback body, a slim neck for comfortable playability and a great feel.
In addition to traditional acoustic guitars, the Applause Heritage line also includes nylon string and bass models, all in a variety of traditional Ovation finishes.
In terms of technical equipment, the CE304T preamp with 3-band EQ and integrated tuner delivers a convincingly good electro-acoustic sound and thus rounds off the overall package of these guitars perfectly.
The Heritage Series instruments are divided into the Traditional and Elite lines, which are differentiated by the types of sound holes used (Center Soundhole or Multi Soundholes).
Elite Series:
The Applause Heritage Elite models are equipped with tops made of selected spruce wood.
Like all Elite versions, they have the Ovation-typical Multi Soundholes. This innovative design uses several small openings on the edge of the guitar top, instead of a single, central sound hole.
This has two positive effects: on the one hand, the available vibration area in the middle of the ceiling increases, and on the other hand, the sound comes out much closer to the ear of the person playing.
In addition, the Multi Soundholes are also a visually enriching change and a guaranteed eye-catcher on the stage.
