Cole Clark SP1E 'Natural' Studio Parlour Bunya / Queensland Maple Acoustic Electric Guitar

The Cole Clark SP1E Bunya/Maple is a uniquely Australian parlour guitar that brings together a solid Bunya pine top with solid Queensland Maple back and sides in Cole Clark's compact Studio Parlour body - a tonewood pairing of genuine character and individuality that produces a warm, bright, and naturally resonant acoustic voice unlike any more common combination. Bunya pine is a uniquely Australian tonewood of exceptional quality - bright, articulate, and brilliantly clear with a natural resonance and dynamic sensitivity that rewards every nuance of playing technique and only deepens with age. Queensland Maple back and sides contribute a focused, bright tonal character with clear midrange definition and natural projection, the two Australian tonewoods combining for a cohesive and distinctively individual acoustic voice in the intimate parlour format.

The parlour body's compact dimensions and shorter 24.75" scale length make the SP1E-BM an immediately comfortable and accessible instrument - ideal for players who find full-size dreadnought bodies physically demanding, for travel and home playing, and for fingerstyle players who appreciate the intimate, focused acoustic character that smaller-bodied guitars deliver so naturally. Cole Clark's PG3mk2 strip piezo pickup system captures the guitar's natural acoustic voice with the reliability and transparency that performing musicians depend on. Inlaid timber rosette, rosewood fingerboard and bridge, dot inlays, Grover machine heads, Graph Tech TUSQ nut and saddle, and poly satin finish complete a specification built entirely around quality Australian tonewoods. Supplied with a Cole Clark Heavy Duty grey gig bag and pickguard. Ideal for fingerstyle players, singer-songwriters, travellers, and anyone who wants a compact, all-Australian acoustic-electric with a distinctive and individual tonal character.
