Joined: April 2021 Posts: 2 | I had registered for an account in 2021 and got upgraded to a member and clearly forgot about it. I've got the Jones for an Ovation AGAIN and tried to register for the forum when I got the reminder that I already existed. How droll! Anyway, this is my first real post, and I'm finally really getting into stuff, so... here it goes. I cross-posted this on another forum and I figured I'd get more information and less nonsense here amongst actual knowledgeable fans of the brand. I don't know why I've been so fascinated lately. I have a great Takamine and a Breedlove, so perhaps it's just wanting something a little different, a little less traditional. I have owned a Celebrity CC057 and still own an Applause AE28 that I picked up specifically for a long road trip back in 2004. I sold the Celebrity a couple of years ago, but still have my Applause. I am definitely wanting something made in New Hartford with a shallow bowl, an Elite model, which from all the reading I've been doing lately is the terminology for having multiple soundholes on the upper bout decorated with "leaves" (and wow those are attractive!). I have looked at the spreadsheet on OvationTribue [dot] com and even copied it into an Excel sheet so I could filter and sort the data. This spreadsheet does have at least one verifiable mistake, referring to the Applause AE28 as a deep bowl when I am looking at my AE28 and know with absolute certainty over the last twenty years that it's a shallow bowl. I've also found some on Reverb and eBay that aren't on the spreadsheet - ya can't catalog everything, so omissions were to be expected. Also... wow, a lot of the used models on Reverb and eBay are beat up. I know people don't generally take care of their guitars but there are too often too many examples of damage. When bad things happen to good guitars... Tell me about yours. What do you love about it? What model is it? What's a great era for these? Have you experienced any problems that you couldn't overcome? I'd love to know. I included a pic of the back of my AE28 - yep, it's a shallow bowl all right!
