Independent shopping perspective
For stage sets or recording, the AEO-69 is a right-handed cutaway OM acoustic-electric with a solid European spruce top, ovangkol back and sides, and a lightweight body. Its acoustic voice is characterized as balanced and articulate, with warmth and depth from the ovangkol. A pinless ovangkol bridge and open-pore matte lacquer are joined by maple binding around the body. Amplified operation comes from a piezo pickup and Applause AP3PT preamp, which also includes an onboard tuner and balanced XLR connection.
