What's the primary difference between the two? |

Location: Orlando, Florida | While I'm not too familiar with the Applause models, I'm pretty sure that the Trekker (at least the one I have, the CS-212) has a solid spruce top. I wouldn't think the Applause does. My Trekker also has the OP-24plus preamp system. No Applause has that. You would have to check the specs for the TS-012. I don't think it has any electronics. By the way, the older model, the CC-012 is a center hole model with out the electronics, but is also a 3/4 scale.

Location: Orlando, Florida | That one on eBay looks good. It probably wouldn't go too high, either, because the seller is new (0 feedback). Could be a good opportunity for someone. I paid about $230.00 for mine two years ago, and it's a "stamped 2nd". Even at that price, I consider it a good buy.

This is the one I have and I love it. It's almost bulletproof, decent action and pretty good amp for headphones. I can't recommend it enough. They include a decent, soft case. I pack it in my carry-on, rollaboard that I had modified with a zipper in the top so the neck (with case) pokes out the top about 4 inches or so. |

I've heard, I think it's an olympia papoose electric that sounded pretty good. Did not play it though. |

Location: Orlando, Florida | I was trying - but if you look at the Bid history, I was bidding less than you. If I knew you wanted it for sure, I wouldn't have bid at all. I have one, but at $99.-$125. it was worth having two.
