Cole Clark FL Master Grade 'Natural' Fat Lady Dreadnought All Australian Blackwood Acoustic Electric Guitar

The Cole Clark FL Master Grade All Australian Blackwood is the most exalted expression of Cole Clark's commitment to Australian tonewoods - a guitar that represents the absolute pinnacle of their production, built entirely from master-grade Australian Blackwood selected to the most exacting standards Cole Clark applies to any instrument they produce. Master-grade Blackwood is not simply better-looking than standard-grade - it is tonally superior, selected for exceptional figure, density, and acoustic properties that produce a richer, more complex, and more harmonically complete voice than lower-grade selections of the same species. Top, back, sides, and neck are all master-grade Australian Blackwood, creating a cohesive, fully Blackwood tonal identity of extraordinary warmth, complexity, and natural shimmer that is unlike anything a non-Australian tonewood combination can achieve.

Australian Blackwood is a close cousin of Hawaiian Koa and shares many of its most celebrated qualities - warm, harmonically rich, and naturally shimmering in the midrange with a natural complexity and tonal depth that only deepens and improves as the instrument matures with regular playing. Cole Clark's internally carved top and back allow both master-grade surfaces to resonate with maximum freedom, while the Spanish heel integral neck construction joins the neck to the body as a single continuous unit for superior vibration transfer and the distinctively open, resonant acoustic voice that has made Cole Clark a serious proposition on the world stage. Sheoak bound fingerboard and bridge - another sustainably sourced Australian native timber - abalone fretboard and rosette inlays, inlaid timber binding and purfling, Grover Gold machine heads, and a natural satin nitrocellulose finish that showcases the extraordinary Blackwood figure at its most beautiful complete an instrument of genuine world-class distinction. Supplied in Cole Clark's iconic tweed hardcase. Ideal for the most discerning performing musicians, serious collectors, and players who want the finest all-Australian acoustic-electric guitar Cole Clark produces.
