The concept emerged directly from Cole Clark’s observation of touring performers who had been retrofitting electric pickups into their acoustic guitars to access a dirty, electric tone - an approach that compromised both the rosette and the tonal position of the pickup. Cole Clark’s solution is far more elegant: a factory-fitted Lollar Imperial at the bridge position, mounted on the face with dedicated volume and tone controls, running to a completely separate output jack from the PG3 acoustic system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe result is an instrument of extraordinary performing versatility - clean acoustic tone through one output, raw electric guitar tone through the other, or both simultaneously in any combination a performer can imagine. The all-solid Australian Blackwood construction - top, back, and sides, with Cole Clark’s internally carved top and back - delivers the characteristic Blackwood tonal signature that sits between rosewood and Koa in character: warm, rich, and complex, with a naturally projecting midrange and a resonant low end that suits everything from fingerstyle to hard strumming and percussive playing. Cole Clark PG3 three-way acoustic pickup system, She Oak fingerboard, bridge, and snowflake inlays, inlaid timber binding, purfling and rosette, Graph Tech TUSQ nut and saddle, Grover tuners, and nitrocellulose natural satin finish complete an instrument of genuine tonal and creative ambition. Supplied in Cole Clark’s iconic tweed hardcase with pickguard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-solid Australian Blackwood construction - top, back, and sides - with Cole Clark’s internally carved top and back delivers the characteristic warm, rich, and resonant Blackwood tonal signature with the acoustic freedom and natural character that distinguishes all Cole Clark instruments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLollar Imperial humbucker at bridge position with dedicated volume and tone controls on the face and a completely separate output jack enables a genuine, uncompromised electric guitar tone - running independently from or simultaneously with the acoustic pickup system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCole Clark PG3 three-way acoustic pickup system (undersaddle piezo, face sensor, internal microphone) provides the transparent, natural acoustic-electric tone on its own dedicated output, preserving the full character of the Blackwood body alongside the humbucker’s electric capabilities.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual output configuration enables endless performing combinations: pure acoustic tone, pure electric tone, both simultaneously into two separate signal chains, or blended in whatever proportion a performer requires - one instrument covering more sonic ground than virtually any other acoustic-electric available.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShe Oak fingerboard, bridge, and snowflake inlays, inlaid timber binding and purfling, Grover machine heads, Graph Tech TUSQ nut and saddle, and natural satin nitrocellulose finish reflect Cole Clark’s consistent commitment to quality Australian tonewoods and considered appointments.\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 FL2EC-BLBL-HUM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Fat Lady dreadnought, cutaway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop: Solid Australian Blackwood, internally carved\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack \u0026amp; sides: Solid Australian Blackwood, internally carved\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBracing: VX bracing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Queensland Maple, C profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard: She Oak, 12\" radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: She Oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlays: Snowflake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBinding, purfling \u0026amp; rosette: 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: 648mm (25.5\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString spacing: 56mm (2.2\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Grover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcoustic electronics: Cole Clark PG3 three-way pickup system (undersaddle piezo, face sensor, internal microphone)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectric electronics: Lollar Imperial humbucker (separate output, volume and tone controls on face)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutputs: Two independent output jacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Nitrocellulose natural satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings: Elixir Nanoweb 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":48822514417885,"sku":"CCFL2EC-BLBLR-HUM","price":3099.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/8045\/files\/0H3A1172_2000x-Recovered_2c7bd7b2-39d8-4046-975a-f2eaba828002.png?v=1792376786","url":"https:\/\/www.acousticcentre.com.au\/products\/fl2ec-blackwood-blackwood-rw-fb-humbucker","provider":"Acoustic Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
