AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
The Cole Clark Culprit 3 marks the return of Cole Clark electric guitars for the first time since 2012, re-emerging as a flagship, semi-hollow electric built entirely from Australian sustainable timbers. Finished in nitro satin and crafted from a unique combination of Bunya, Blackwood and Queensland Maple, each Culprit 3 is truly one of a kind. The semi- hollow construction delivers an open, warm and highly responsive tone with exceptional dynamic range and natural resonance.
At the heart of the Culprit 3 are Cole Clark’s Patent Applied For True Balance Magnetic Pickups, designed to eliminate string-to-string imbalance and deliver perfectly even output across the fretboard. An all-Australian Blackwood neck provides clarity, strength and a familiar feel, while premium hardware including a Wilkinson bridge and Grover tuners ensures rock-solid tuning stability and precise intonation. Supplied in a rectangular tweed hard case, the Culprit 3 is a premium Australian-built electric designed for players who value tone, balance and individuality.
