The result is a more detailed and natural amplified sound, making Cole Clark guitars particularly popular with performing musicians.
For singers, solo acoustic performers and guitarists playing regularly through a PA system, this sophisticated pickup technology is one of the biggest reasons to consider a Cole Clark.

Cole Clark is particularly well known for its use of Australian tonewoods, with timbers such as Australian Blackwood, Queensland Maple and Bunya appearing throughout the range.
The natural variation in these timbers means each instrument can have its own distinctive grain, figuring and character. Rather than hiding the timber beneath excessive ornamentation, many Cole Clark guitars celebrate the natural appearance of the wood itself.
It's part of what makes a great Cole Clark as enjoyable to own as it is to play.
