Cole Clark 'Fat Lady' FL3EC Redwood / Blackwood Acoustic Electric Guitar

Cole Clark FL3EC Redwood Blackwood Acoustic Guitar

As all Redwood looks completely different please feel free to contact us for a photo of the one we have in stock.

The King Of The Hill! This FL3EC features a magnificently figured, Australian-grown Redwood top and Australian Blackwood back and sides. This is combined with a Queensland Maple Silkwood neck and Ebony fretboard, inlaid with timber and Abalone. Finished in a lightweight, satin Nitrocellulose finish to allow the high-quality timbers to breathe and resonate as they should. Brilliant acoustically and absolutely incredible as a live instrument, thanks to Cole Clark's new 3-way pickup system. Includes a high-quality Cole Clark hardshell tweed case.

PLEK machines are built and sold by A+D Gitarrentechnologie of Berlin, Germany. The machines were developed by musician and guitar instructor Gerd Anke with his partner Michael Dubach, who called their company PLEKTRON when it was founded in 1990. The goal of the PLEK process they created is to guarantee the best possible string action for each instrument. Simply put, a guitar with optimized playability sounds better. The strings do not strike the frets during playing and any intonation problems that may occur due to too-low string action are eliminated. Similarly, action that’s too high is also a thing of the past with PLEKing.

The PLEKing process is done by CNC (computer numerical control) machines, which use microprocessors to perform their tasks. That doesn’t mean human craftspeople are excluded from this process. The PLEK machine is ultimately a tool to reduce variances between guitars, which allows Cole Clarks expert builders to do their jobs more efficiently
