Interesting, we just had a similar request on the Canadian Guitar Forum. (
http://guitarscanada.com/Board/)
I suggested to the poster that he could email his questions to:
[email protected]
He did but, they seem to be really slow to respond.
I also suggested that he contact any long time Ovation / Celebrity / Applause dealers.
This he did and lucked out getting all the info he was looking for his model from one source.
Furthermore look for a copy of the book "The History of the Ovation Guitar". I can't remember how much info there is on Applause, however, it is a very interesting read.
