Bought an Applause AA31 a few weeks ago. Shipped from US to Australia $240 landed. In great condition. I probably paid more than some others for this guitar but I am over the moon with the purchase. It is a sunburst one with the lack old style headstock. It looks and absolutely fantastic. I think it had the original strings which were ultra light and poor quality and condition. I put a new set of medium lights on and the guitar sounds fantastic. It is loud and clear and the neck is so easy to play. I think this is a wonderful instrument for the price or at any price. It it a lot cheaper than an Ovation but I think it would sound as good. Five stars from me for this guitar.
