Thanks for the comments guys (I see you Tweeter : )

Frankly, I'm too old to understand those DJ Ashba critters. I don't hear much difference to be honest. I have one AA24 which has a little shallower bowl. No idea who was *cough* responsible for the paint job. Oh yeah, and your favorite flavor in acoustic strings. Get a good set-up done on it, and it will truly talk to you! I think you will be pleased with the instrument. November 2002 Posts: 3303 Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire Is your pimpdaddy applesause original like that? Amazing! The one I bought looks just likes yours except it is plain.

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I think the guitar is beautiful even though not the pimped up version - your pimpdaddy applesause is gorgeous! Do you have any videos in youtube or anything that would help me hear how she sounds? Also is it a deep bowl? Appears so in photos - which I prefer for deeper tone. I bought the one I was looking at although I paid more - $200 w/shipping. Now if you're talking THIS pimped out '31, well, now, that's altogether different!

They hover around the $100 mark for the most part.

All AA-31s have laminated tops.įrom a marketing standpoint they were meant to replace the Moosup AA-14s (Hi Alison! ). They have 'real wood' necks and fingerboards as opposed to aluminum. There were no US made AA-31s to my knowledge. The AA-31s were made in Korea beginning about 1983.

Does it have a standard neck or is it aluminum? What might value be for one in good shape with case? Thanks very much. Haven't been in the forum for awhile but was looking at a 70's Applause AA-31 SN185786 - had the ugle headstock and have not been able to find specs for it.
