Applause Ae44Ii Mid Cutaway Black Satin

A model in the "bowl" spirit: comfort, consistency, and signature look

The AE44II follows the tradition of composite back guitars with Lyrachord backs, designed to offer consistent acoustics from one instrument to another and excellent stability. Its mid-depth format aims for an interesting balance: enough volume for good sound presence while remaining comfortable against the body. The Multi Soundhole enhances the typical visual character of the range and contributes to a more enveloping sound projection.

For which guitarists and styles?

This electro-acoustic guitar is aimed at advanced beginners to intermediate guitarists seeking immediate playability and a reliable instrument for rehearsing, recording, or amplified playing. Its 25.31" / 643 mm scale length maintains familiar string tension, and the nut width of 1.69" / 42.8 mm is well suited for chord playing, fingerpicking, and vocal accompaniment. Thanks to the built-in preamp and tuner, it is especially comfortable in pop, folk, variety, and acoustic rock.

Sound

The spruce top generally provides a clear attack, definition, and a good dynamic range, ideal for transitioning from light playing to stronger strumming. The X bracing contributes to the balance between projection and note sustain, while the Lyrachord body promotes a homogeneous and stable response, with a clean low end and clear mids. When plugged in, the CE304T electronics allow quick adjustment of your tonal color via the 3-band EQ, and the built-in tuner simplifies song changes on stage.
