Classic acoustic tone and comfort fuse with modern playability in a stunning guitar.
The Applause AE44 acoustic-electric guitar provides serious musicians a versatile instrument for any performance. With a mid-depth Lyrachord body and solid spruce top, this guitar resonates with a full, balanced tone. The slim nato neck and ovangkol fingerboard make playing comfortable and smooth.
Resonant Tonewood Construction
The AE44's Lyrachord roundback body provides great projection and a distinctive look. Paired with a solid spruce top, the tone is bright, balanced and resonant. Scalloped X-bracing allows the top to vibrate freely, enhancing sustain and harmonics. A mid-depth cutaway gives you full access to higher frets.
Slim Neck Profile for Playability
The nato neck has an easy-playing slim profile that makes it comfortable for any playing style. The ovangkol fingerboard adds warmth while providing a smooth surface under your fingers. Dot inlays help you navigate the neck with precision.
Onboard Electronics for Amplified Performances
The AE44 comes equipped with an Applause CE304T preamp with a built-in tuner. Three-band EQ gives you tonal control over bass, midrange and treble frequencies. Shape your amplified tone to match the venue and performance needs. An onboard tuner ensures you're always in tune, even on stage.
Premium Appointments and Hardware
Ivory binding adds an elegant touch along the top, back and fingerboard edges. Diecast tuners provide accurate and stable tuning. Adamas strings come installed for a balanced tone and smooth feel. A free 2-year warranty from Applause gives you peace of mind. For an acoustic-electric guitar with pro-level features at an affordable price, the Applause AE44 is an excellent choice.
