Cole Clark Fat Lady Acoustic Guitars
"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.
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."
These are our best sellers. Other timbers, and gloss finishes
are available as special order. Call us to discuss.
