A 12-string with classic Ovation body resonance and amplified versatility.
The Applause AB2412-5S Traditional Series Mid Depth 12-String acoustic-electric guitar gives you shimmering 12-string tone and easy playability. Its mid-depth Lyrachord body provides balanced resonance while remaining lightweight and the selected spruce top rings out with crisp articulation. The slim nato neck and ovangkol fingerboard keep your playing comfortable during long practice sessions or performances. Onstage or in the studio, the built-in CE304T preamp with 3-band EQ and tuner ensures your sound is always dialed in.
Resonant 12-String Tone
With its pairing of a spruce top and Lyrachord back and sides, the AB2412-5S produces a tone that is both shimmering and well-defined. The spruce top provides clarity and projection, while the Lyrachord body adds warmth and resonance. Together they create the jangling, chiming 12-string sound that guitarists love. The scalloped X-bracing gives the top enough flexibility and support to ring freely. Whether strumming chords or picking melodies, you'll appreciate this guitar's acoustic richness.
Slim, Comfortable Neck
The AB2412-5S neck has a slim profile that feels familiar and fast. Its nato construction provides stability to handle the increased tension of 12 strings while still being lightweight. The ovangkol fingerboard has a smooth feel under your fingers. A 1.875" nut width gives each of the 12 strings enough space to vibrate freely without feeling cramped. The scale length of 25.3" results in balanced string tension for comfortable playing. Overall, this neck design minimizes hand fatigue so you can focus on your music.
Tailored Tone Control
Shape your sound with the 3-band EQ and tuner of the built-in CE304T preamp. The EQ provides adjustments for bass, midrange and treble frequencies. Find the right balance of warmth and clarity for your 12-string tone. The tuner ensures each course of strings is tuned accurately with a visual display. With this preamp, you have convenient control over your plugged-in tone for any venue.
Classic Style and Value
The AB2412-5S has an attractive satin finish and traditional appointments like an inlaid rosette and dot inlays. Binding and purfling provide an elegant touch. Die-cast tuners keep your strings in tune through long sets. At an affordable price, this Ovation guitar gives you pro-level 12-string tone and playability that will inspire your music for years to come.
