Cole Clark CCSAN1EC-BLBL Studio AN Solid Blackwood Grand Auditorium Acoustic w/Pickup
The Cole Clark CCSAN1EC-BLBL is part of Cole Clark's Studio Series of acoustic guitars; a range of quality and sustainable acoustic guitars, at affordable prices. These guitars feature an all-solid build of sustainable, mostly Australian tonewoods, with the premium features you can expect from Cole Clark, like a spanish heel, Graphtech nut and saddle, Grover machine heads, Cole Clark PG3 pickup system, and new XT bracing. The Studio Series' tonewoods are first processed and prepared in the Cole Clark Australia workshop, and are then assembled in the Cole Clark China workshop, with the same stringent quality controls applied in both locations. Each guitar then receives a full QC check and setup when it arrives back in Australia.
This guitar features a solid A grade Australian Blackwood top, back & sides, African Mahogany neck and torrefied Eucalypt fretboard and bridge. These tonewoods, combined with the smaller grand auditorium body produces a wonderfully balanced sound similar to an all-Koa build, full of character, with great projection and cut through, whilst also being physically comfortable to play for hours on end.
The onboard Cole Clark PG3 3-way pickup system produces a beautifully natural amplified tone, perfect for your next live performance. The PG3 pickup system combines an undersaddle piezo pickup, face sensor, and microphone, which work together to give you an incredibly well-rounded, dynamic and responsive representation of your guitar's natural tone. The undersaddle uses a strip piezo, for dynamic responsiveness and bottom-end response; the face sensor focusses on the mid-range, removing the signature 'quack' of piezo-only systems, as well as expertly translating the intricacies of any percussive playing; and the condenser mic is focussed towards the top end, smoothing out the signature 'ping' of piezo-only systems. The preamp allows you to tweak various aspects of your tone, such as the frequency range picked up by the face sensor, overall volume, and relative volume of the mic. This guitar comes impeccably set up ready to play and includes a heavy duty Cole Clark gig bag.
Cole Clark sources mostof its timber from urban recovery (trees that have fallen or been removed for safety reasons), and sustainable plantations. The stripped back aesthetic of the Cole Clark Studio series really shows off the natural grain of these sustainably sourced tonewoods. The Blackwood is sustainably sourced from Gadubanud (Ottway Ranges Victoria) and Pyemmairrener Countries (North East Tasmania).
At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Cole Clark SAN1EC Studio AN Acoustic Guitar is perfect for anyone looking for a stripped back workhorse, with a smaller grand auditorium sized body, and a pickup, which features premium quality, sustainable tonewoods, at an incredibly affordable price.
