OK, The YakiVegas chapter of the BFLG has been active. One of the latest finds. Even came with a black OHSC! Any ideas on origin?

I can't remember the exact model number anymore, but it is an Applause.

I had one of those years ago. I sold mine for about $175 I think when I lived in Savannah.

You got a good deal. They're not bad little guitars.

Cool purchase. I've never seen one of those before.

How's it sound compared to an all wood classical?

Better than it deserves, at the dirt-cheap price I paid. Usual Ovation classical bracing. Not quite as rich as an 1113 or 1116, but just as good as a CC15. Yes, I've owned a few O's. It doesn't appear Applause made that many classicals, in this style. Somebody scraped the label out, and mutilated the serial # tag. Anybody know the exact model #?
BTW, SWMBO has been REALLY razzing me on my "burnt orange" guitar. The stain is pretty distinctive. I'm pretty sure it must have a laminated top, cuz I counted 3 veneer patterns, on the inside, and only the 2-part bookmatched pattern on the outside.

Yeah, Arthur, I pulled the trigger pretty quick on this one. About 2 minutes, total. 2 seconds to decide, and the rest to negotiate the labrynth of Ebay & PayPal. I don't think this thing was played much, either. It might have been in Oz, at some point. There was a Harley-Davidson sticker on the OHSC, from a shop in Queensland. I may have to post an image for The Downunderers.

Graci', Riccardo!
And, merci beaucoup to Jerome!
So, this critter is NOT ersatz, but "the real deal". Too cool!
This is becoming a multilingual event. Any Esperanto out there?
