Cole Clark TL2EC-BLBL-HSS True Hybrid Acoustic Electric Guitar

Cole Clark's revolutionary 'TRUE HYBRID' guitars solve a problem that has plagued touring musicians for years - the need for both pristine acoustic tones and gritty electric sounds from a single instrument. Born from observing countless artists retrofitting electric pickups into their acoustic guitars' sound holes, Cole Clark recognised that this approach not only damaged beautiful rosettes but also placed the pickup in the wrong position for optimal electric tone. Most electric players instinctively reach for their bridge pickup when seeking that dirty sound, so Cole Clark has engineered their dual output system with correctly positioned, professionally tuned pickups for superior stability and performance.

The concept is elegantly simple: acoustic guitars belong through a PA system, while electric guitars shine through amplifiers. This TRUE HYBRID approach gives modern musicians the flexibility to seamlessly switch between both worlds without compromise. Each instrument features a sophisticated pickup system combining a humbucker and two single coil Cole Clark balanced magnetic pickups alongside their renowned PG3 acoustic pickup system, all controlled via intuitive tone and volume controls with selector switches mounted on the guitar's face.

Crafted from premium AA grade Australian Blackwood for the back, sides and top, these instruments showcase the finest local tonewoods finished in nitrocellulose natural satin. The Queensland Maple neck features a comfortable 25.5″ scale length, while the She Oak fretboard boasts a 12″ radius with elegant Abalone dot inlays across 21 frets. Quality appointments include a 44mm Graph Tech Tusq nut, reliable Grover tuning machines, and a She Oak bridge fitted with Graph Tech Tusq saddles, all housed in an included Cole Clark hard case with classic tweed styling.
