"At
Cole Clark Guitars, we’ve applied a new understanding to an age old
art. Like you, we appreciate the sound and feel of a great steel string
guitar, one that reflects and projects the emotion you put into your
music.
Great guitars require great tone woods, and we
select our timbers with care. Even our most basic model acoustic is
made from all solid timbers. Our patented manufacturing method applies
the finest of control to each instrument we make, so that every
instrument can be loud and lively and subtle and soft.
Play
one at your local dealer. Whack it! Caress it! You’ll find that it
responds in kind to your touch. String response and articulation are
excellent. You can option your guitar with our new pickup system. We
believe this to be the best pickup yet offered. Big claim? Listen to
it, then tell us what you think.
The Cole Clark Fat Lady
is a truly awesome sounding instrument. It whispers, it yells and it
sings, and you know that your search for the perfect acoustic guitar
isn’t over... ‘til the Fat Lady sings!
At Cole Clark
Guitars we precision manufacture guitars to provide the optimum in
sound quality and playability. The fact that we use modern technology
should not be mistaken for a lack of respect for past methods. Acoustic
guitar making remained relatively unchanged from the mid 1850’s Martin
“X” braced design until now.
The original “X” was
modified in the early 20th century to accommodate steel strings, and
the “14 frets clear of the body” design to give greater fret access
arrived just prior to 1930. From then, not much changed. There have
been a few excursions into alternate materials, “space age” laminates,
odd shapes etc., but mostly acoustic steel string guitars have been
made the same way for a long time. Players agree that timber is the
material that sounds best, and timber is our medium.
We
combine the benefits of an integral neck heel with an accurately tuned
face and back for exceptional clarity and sustain. The integral neck
heel, while held in high esteem, has always been difficult to produce
well, which is why most manufacturers opt for the more accessible but
less efficient dovetail joint, screws or dowels, all of which are more
at home in the furniture industry. Our ability to accurately make the
integral neck heel enables us to manufacture with incredibly tight
tolerances and this allows accurate assembly of our instruments.
The
violin makers of history understood the necessity of tuning the
vibrating plates of an instrument ( the top and the back ). We carve
our tops and backs to achieve the best possible sound, using CNC router
technology for extreme accuracy. The results are instruments which
perform like no others.
