This is the Applause travel guitar. I've got one and they are better than the Martin Backpacker. I don't know if Ovation still makes them.

Paul, I'm intrigued with this - tell me more! Does it have a pu in it? Can I ask what you paid for yours? Looks like it could be used in an emergency as a canoe paddle (ha ha). I tried one of the Martin backpackers in a shop and thought it was an absolute piece of rubbish. I've heard Takamine also makes a travel guitar. But this Ovation thing-a-ma-bob seems kind of wierd in its own cool way. Dave

My wife got it for me a couple of Xmas' ago. No pickup, but I've often thought of putting a thinline in it just for grins. She paid, I think, between $2-300.

It's a funky little guitar. When you play it it sounds like shit. When you listen to somebody else play it, it sounds decent. You've got to be in front of it to appreciate it.

It looks like you made the last posting of 2002.
