Cole Clark
The company uses the traditional Spanish heel building technique, which is less common in acoustic guitars production. In this technique the neck is glued to the face along with the sides and the back so the neck is one piece all the way to the sound hole. The result is a unique sounding acoustic guitar which resembles no other.
Cole Clarks is also one of the only companies that produces guitars using mostly non endangered woods. Not only that, the company promotes sustainability by using Australian grown woods and fallen trees. In fact, apart from the fingerboard and bridge, around 85% of Cole Clark guitars are made from 100% sustainable timbers.
The guitar you need when going percussive style! Blackwood is the most sturdy timber Cole Clark uses, therefore it is a pretty popular wood choice among percussive style guitar players. The Cole Clark AN2EC-BLBL features all solid Australian Blackwood back, sides and top, grand auditorium body shape, She Oak fingerboard and the infamous Cole Clark 3-way pickup system. Actually, the majority of sold Cole Clark guitars feature Blackwood body, therefore the AN2EC-BLBL delivers a classic Cole Clark sound, good punch on the mid and low ranges, open highs and great sound when going amplified. But watch out - due to its characteristics, Blackwood may sound a little too bright at the beginning of its life as it needs to be played and opened up.
