western guitar Cole Clark Model: FL1EC-BM Cut/EQ

Cole Clark acoustic guitar FL1EC-BM Fat Lady 1 Bunya/Maple/Cutaway/EQ

The Australian Cole Clark began in 2001 to realize their ideas of building unique electric-acoustic guitars. Here, the classic Spanish guitar tradition is fused with innovative details and modern manufacturing to achieve unprecedented liveliness, especially in amplified use. The airy, three-dimensional sound of the Cole Clark guitars is considered to be the most natural in the world and has a lasting appeal. The company in Melbourne now employs 40 people and is enjoying steadily growing popularity.

Here, the necks are not glued or screwed to a finished body as is usually the case, but are connected directly to the sides, top and back with a Spanish neck foot using a comb and groove, for less weight and more vibration. The one-piece, full-length and amazingly flat necks with first-class dressed and polished frets are particularly comfortable to hold. Thanks to the use of a PLEK machine, the ideal string action is guaranteed. The perfect playability is particularly appealing to electric guitarists.

The specialists from Down Under have developed a three-way system to pick up the consistently lively, balanced and fresh tone of these acoustic guitars, with each sound supplier contributing its best characteristics to the overall sound. Feedback-resistant, the built-in microphone delivers plenty of presence, while bass and mids come from the piezo under the bridge inlay. The percussive, high mids and trebles come from the top pickup. The whole thing can be mixed as desired and with additional tone control on the control center at the top of the frame. The output jack and the battery compartment are located separately and practically at the bottom of the frame. So, be sure to test a Cole Clark amplified to experience the uniquely physical sound!
