Applause by Ovation AE-48 like the Adamas
why is it EVERY multi sound hole guitar is "like the Adamas"?????
I even know well established dealers that call multi sound hole guitars Adamas guitars knowing sure well that they are not!!!!
I guess it is a pet peeve of mine but It really does rub me the wrong way |

Location: Lafayette, Louisiana | Patsbro, yes it does bother me. I can remember when the Elite came out and I thought how could they use that hole pattern on a guitar that is not an Adamas. That opinion changed quickly after I played an Elite. Great guitar. Looks like Ovation will do whatever it takes to sell a few guitars. I never thought I would see the Adamas hole pattern on an Applause guitar. I guess I gota except it....Paul Hebert |

| Trboy,
The sad part is the guys at the Instrument Exchange know this is a Pacemaker but wont change the posting.
I’m still waiting for the add that reads “Adamas by Ovation, like Applause AE-48 only better!”

| Mike,
I’m surprised they didn’t try to sell it as a 1618. If you look closely it has a Glen Campbell truss rod cover.
