CCFL1E-BM – Bunya Top with Queensland Maple Back and Sides.
UNIQUE CONSTRUCTION
Cole Clark steel string acoustic guitars are the only main stream acoustic to use a Spanish heel or integral neck construction. This means the neck is glued to the face along with the sides and the back so the neck is one piece all the way to the sound hole. On other guitars, the body is made then the neck attached, mostly with a bolt or dove tail join. Due to our method, the sound is unique. Cole Clark also has a carved top and back and uses a ridge system to join the sides to the top and back instead of kerfing.
TIMBERS
Cole Clark guitars are all solid timber using mostly native Australian tone woods that are largely sustainable.
Bunya: This native sustainable Australian tone wood sourced from Queensland is responsible for over half of Cole Clark’s sales. This is the top used by the majority of our long term artists.
