“Music brings joy soothes the soul and brings people together. I’ve had this guitar since my college days — nearly 30 years — and now I hope it brings joy fun and laughter to someone picking it up for the very first time. Your bid can help turn music into a lifelong gift.”
The Applause by Ovation AE‑38 is a budget-friendly dreadnought-style acoustic-electric that features the signature shallow “bowl” body shape derived from Ovation guitars, making it lighter and more comfortable for gigging or practice. It typically includes a laminated spruce or mahogany top, the characteristic Lyrachord/composite round back design, 20 frets, three-per–side tuners, and built-in passive piezo pickup electronics for straightforward plug-in capability. The AE-38 offers a practical, stage-capable acoustic-electric solution with unique styling and a price point suitable for beginner to intermediate players.
