Location: Caribou, ME | Somewhere on the net in the past couple weeks I found a site that contained info about the Academy series and they referred to the top material as Kamonite (with the registered trademark symbol). At least that's how I recall it, maybe I misspelled it. I've tried googling to no avail... ring a bell with anyone? |

Location: Indiana | Brief description from the History of the Ovation Guitar book...
"The top of the Applause was laminated spruce. 'Maximum top vibration' was achieved, however, according to the brochure, by use of a 'premium bracing pattern' developed specifically for the Applause. The brochure called it a Kamonic top." |
