{"product_id":"fl-dreadnought-mastergrade-blackwood-face-back","title":"Cole Clark FL Master Grade 'Natural' Fat Lady Dreadnought All Australian Blackwood Acoustic Electric Guitar","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAustralian 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaster-grade Australian Blackwood top, back, sides, and neck - selected to Cole Clark's most exacting standards - delivers a warm, harmonically rich, and naturally shimmering all-Blackwood acoustic voice of extraordinary tonal complexity and beauty.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternally carved top and back allow both master-grade surfaces to vibrate with maximum acoustic freedom, contributing to the exceptional openness, dynamic sensitivity, and tonal richness that distinguishes a master-grade Cole Clark from any standard production alternative.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCole Clark's Spanish heel integral neck construction joins the neck to the face, sides, and back as a single continuous unit for superior vibration transfer and the characteristically open, resonant acoustic voice that defines the finest Cole Clark instruments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCole Clark PG3 three-way pickup system combines undersaddle piezo, face sensor, and internal microphone to capture the full acoustic voice of the master-grade Blackwood with exceptional transparency and natural character for live performance and recording.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSheoak bound fingerboard and bridge, abalone fretboard and rosette inlays, inlaid timber binding and purfling, Grover Gold machine heads, and natural satin nitrocellulose finish reflect Cole Clark's commitment to all-Australian tonewoods and considered appointments at every level of the instrument.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Cole Clark FLMGE-BLBL-AE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Fat Lady dreadnought\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop: Master-grade Australian Blackwood, internally carved\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack \u0026amp; sides: Master-grade Australian Blackwood, internally carved\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Australian Blackwood, Spanish heel integral construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard: Sheoak, bound, 12\" radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Sheoak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlays: Abalone (fretboard and rosette)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBinding \u0026amp; purfling: Inlaid timber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut \u0026amp; saddle: Graph Tech TUSQ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut width: 44mm (1.73\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale length: 25.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Grover Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup: Cole Clark PG3 (undersaddle piezo, face sensor, microphone)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Nitrocellulose natural satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings: Phosphor Bronze 12-53\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: Cole Clark tweed hardcase, pickguard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in: Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Cole Clark","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50211268559069,"sku":"CCFLMGE-BLBL-AE","price":6999.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/8045\/files\/0H3A9299.jpg?v=1790900073","url":"https:\/\/www.acousticcentre.com.au\/products\/fl-dreadnought-mastergrade-blackwood-face-back","provider":"Acoustic Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
