Applause Ab2412Ii Mid Cutaway 12-String Black Satin

The Ovation DNA: The "Lyrachord" Spirit in an Accessible Electro-Acoustic

This electro-acoustic guitar follows the Ovation tradition, recognizable by its modern design and Lyrachord back, engineered to provide comfort, stability, and a balanced response. With its Mid-depth format and central soundhole, it incorporates the features that made performance-oriented guitars successful, while maintaining a simple and effective approach thanks to the Applause electronics.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

Thanks to its cutaway, comfortable neck, and integrated electronics, this guitar is particularly suited for beginner to intermediate guitarists who want an electro-acoustic ready to play through an amplifier or mixing console, but it also works well as a "practical" stage instrument for more experienced musicians. It performs comfortably in accompaniment, arpeggios, and pop/variety contexts where clarity and precision in amplification are essential.

Sound

The spruce top provides brightness and definition, ideal for highlighting attack and chord clarity. The quartersawn X bracing contributes to a more structured response, with a good balance between dynamics and note sustain. The Mid-depth Lyrachord body promotes even projection and a stable playing feel, especially when amplified. With the Applause CE304T preamp, the 3-band EQ allows quick adjustment of bass, mids, and treble to suit sound reinforcement or room acoustics.
