The front of the AE48 Super Shallow Honeyburst Satin is made of laminated spruce. The resonance of the top is enhanced by the placement and shape of the soundholes and the reduced X-type ribbing of the front plate. The rest of the body is an arched shallow body (Super Shallow) made of hi-tech Lyrachord material, which, together with the reduced X-ribbing of the soundboard, maximizes volume and all positive acoustic effects.
A nato (eastern mahogany) neck is glued to an ovangkol fingerboard. An interesting feature is the beveled fingerboard design, which offers seventeen frets on the thickest bass string, while the thinnest string has six more frets. The strings themselves are anchored via a plastic zero fret in an ovangkol fingerboard and chrome black tuning machines. The stylish finish is accentuated by the headstock in the typical Ovation design and the bright top binding.
The Applause CE304T preamp in the back of the guitar with a three-band EQ and built-in tuner provides a sound system.
