A Stunningly Playable 12-string Acoustic-electric
Ovation’s latest edition to the Applause series is the ultra-affordable AB2412. Following suit with the rest of Ovation’s lineup, this 12-string boasts a rounded Lyrachord body, featuring a mid-depth design that provides enough internal resonance for brilliant projection without being too bulky to play comfortably. It also packs an onboard 3-band EQ, a volume control, and a tuner, so all of your settings are easily manageable right at your fingertips. The AB2412 is powered by a CE304T preamp and a CT-600A active pickup to deliver both the low-end and high frequencies of your tone with vivid clarity. Guitarists here at AJ’s Music & The Music Man appreciate how this 12-string has a slightly thinner neck as you work your way up the fingerboard, making chording and solo runs on the doubled strings an easier endeavor. Whether you’re a beginner, a pro, or you are just looking for an affordable way to enter the 12-string arena, Ovation’s Applause AB2412 will earn a standing ovation!
Catering to the player
When you combine the classic, detailed chime of a 12-string guitar with quality and universal playability, Ovation’s AB2412 is the result. This guitar is bright — from ’60s folk and heavenly ballads to exploring the realm of your own creativity, you’ll feel confident in knowing that this Ovation will deliver. And part of that confidence stems from the AB2412’s narrower neck width. Contrary to its 6-string siblings, this guitar’s neck measures only 0.920 inches at the 12th fret, as opposed to 0.930 inches, improving maneuverability and making it more ergonomic. The AB2412 also comes equipped with a set of Adamas 1616 factory strings, so you’ll be up and running from the moment you strum your first chord.
Armed with quality electronic controls
An easy-to-use control panel is one major benefit of this valued-packed acoustic/electric. Along the top facing side, you have quick access to a master volume knob and a digital tuner, so adjustments while performing can be made quickly and discreetly. Also included on the control panel is a 3-band graphic equalizer, so you can shape your own mix of treble, middle, and bass into the tone that’s just right for you and your audience. Find the perfect balance to match any venue or shape your sound in the studio with ease — the AB2412 has your back!
When it comes to power, the AB24112 is backed up by a CE304T preamp that drives an active CT-600A pickup. The result is an incredibly clear and tonally balanced sound, allowing you to really sharpen or round off any edge with the 3-band EQ. With that said, the AB2412 doesn’t hold back — whether plugged in or acoustic, its projection is strong and defined with plenty of depth and resonance.
Unique Ovation design and construction
The AB2412 retains plenty of classic Ovation appointments, starting with its Lyrachord body. Its rounded-off, mid-depth cutaway design easily sets it apart aesthetically from any other 12-strings on the market, and you can really hear the difference when you plug in. A layered spruce top is satin finished with ABS ivory binding for a truly classic appearance that will fit any setting. The mahogany neck houses a naturally finished ovangkol fretboard with 20 medium-sized frets and standard markers, a familiar feel that will make guitarists of any caliber feel right at home. Ovation die-cast tuning machines and chrome-plated pegs line the vintage-style mahogany headstock for a truly classic look.
