Cole Clark AN2EC Angel 'Blackwood / Blackwood' Acoustic Electric Guitar

The Cole Clark AN2EC Blackwood is an all-Australian tonewood Grand Auditorium cutaway that showcases the remarkable sonic and visual character of AA-grade Australian Blackwood in its most complete form - top, back, and sides all crafted from the same carefully selected timber, producing a tonal and aesthetic identity of genuine cohesion and distinction. Australian Blackwood is a tonewood of exceptional character - a close relative of Hawaiian Koa that shares many of its most celebrated qualities, delivering a warm, complex, and harmonically rich voice with a natural shimmer and midrange depth that sets it apart from any spruce, cedar, or mahogany alternative. In the AN2 series, Cole Clark's internally carved top and back allow both surfaces to resonate with maximum freedom, significantly enhancing the Blackwood's natural acoustic response and contributing to the instrument's characteristically open and dynamic tonal character.

The Grand Auditorium cutaway body delivers the ideal balance between projection, clarity, and upper-fret access, while Cole Clark's PG3 True Acoustic pickup system captures the full acoustic voice of the Blackwood with three independently calibrated sensors - undersaddle piezo, face sensor, and internal microphone - for genuinely natural and transparent amplified performance in any live or recording context. Inlaid timber binding, purfling, and rosette, abalone dot inlays, Grover machine heads, Graph Tech TUSQ nut and saddle, and nitrocellulose natural satin finish reflect Cole Clark's consistent commitment to quality Australian tonewoods and considered appointments at every level. Supplied in Cole Clark's iconic tweed hardcase with pickguard. Ideal for performing singer-songwriters, fingerstyle players, and anyone who wants a genuinely all-Australian acoustic-electric with the warm, complex tonal character that only Blackwood construction can deliver.
