The Ovation DNA: An Electro-Acoustic Designed for Amplified Playing
With its Lyrachord body and Multi Soundhole aesthetic, the AE44II follows the tradition of Ovation guitars focused on performance. The mid-depth format seeks a balance between comfort (less bulky than a large body) and sound presence, while the Natural Satin finish highlights a sober and effective style, suited for rehearsals as well as stage performances.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
This electro-acoustic guitar is especially aimed at beginner to intermediate guitarists who want a reliable instrument that is easy to set up for amplification, but it also works very well as a "stage guitar" for musicians who play multiple sets. Thanks to the cutaway and onboard electronics, it is comfortable in pop, folk, variety, vocal accompaniment, and fingerstyle playing, with a quick learning curve.
Sound
The selected spruce top provides clarity, good attack definition, and a wide dynamic range: it responds equally well to pick playing and fingerstyle nuances. The X quartersawn bracing contributes to a balanced response and more stable projection by supporting the top across the entire spectrum. The mid-depth Lyrachord body promotes even sound dispersion and clean bass, often delivering a very clear output when amplified. The Multi Soundhole system adds a sense of openness and a different harmonic distribution, useful for maintaining presence without pushing volume. When plugged in, the Applause CE304T allows quick tone adjustment via the 3-band EQ and secures tuning with the built-in tuner.
