Overview

Amplify your classical guitar tone with the Applause AB24CS-4S acoustic-electric.

The Applause AB24CS-4S Traditional Series nylon-string acoustic-electric guitar provides classical guitarists with resonant tone and effortless playability. Its mid-depth Lyrachord body and selected spruce top generate a bold, projected sound with warm, balanced overtones. The slim nato neck and ovangkol fingerboard feel familiar and fast under your fingers, allowing intricate passages to flow freely.

Resonant Tonewoods Produce Classic Sound

The AB24CS-4S's spruce top and Lyrachord roundback body is optimal for resonance and projection. The spruce top vibrates freely, producing crisp treble tones and a wide dynamic range. Lyrachord, Ovation's patented composite, provides a lightweight, durable alternative to wood with comparable tone.

Slim, Low-Profile Neck Plays Fast

The AB24CS-4S's nato neck has an easy-playing satin finish and slim profile that makes intricate fingering a breeze. Its ovangkol fingerboard adds warmth and snap while providing a smooth surface for bends and position shifts. With 18 nickel frets and a 25.6" scale length, the neck design balances playability and tradition. Overall, the neck gives you seamless transitions up and down the fingerboard at any tempo.

Onboard Preamp Provides Amplified Sound with Tuning Convenience

The AB24CS-4S includes an Applause CE304T preamp with 3-band EQ and built-in tuner for amplified sound and tuning convenience. The preamp allows you to shape your tone to match the acoustics of any venue. Its tuner ensures you're always in tune for performances and recording sessions. With the AB24CS-4S, you have an acoustic-electric classical guitar that's ideal for practice, performance and the studio.

Premium Components and Appointments

From its ivoroid binding and pearloid rosette to its nickel-plated machine heads, the AB24CS-4S is appointed with high-quality components. It ships with a custom set of Hannabach GOLDIN 725MHT Medium High Tension nylon strings for a traditional feel and sound. When you want resonant tone and playability in a handcrafted classical guitar, the Applause AB24CS-4S delivers.
