Cole Clark CCLL2E-BLBL-HUM Acoustic Electric Guitar w/ Humbucker inc Gig Bag

In a quest to create new and exciting products for the modern, touring musician, COle Clark have introduced several dual output ‘humbucker’ models. The idea came from the numerous artists who had added electric pickups to their guitars for a dirty tone via a retrofit pickup in the sound hole. Apart from ruining their rosettes, the placement of that electric pickup isn’t optimal for dirty sounds. Most electric players head to their bridge pickup for this. As a result, Cole Clark has decided to give those players a correctly placed, fine tuned and more stable dual output guitar.

The Humbucker models come with their patented 3 way acoustic pickup and all it’s usual settings. The added humbucker, with volume and tone knobs of the face are a completely separate output jack that runs ideally to an amplifier or amp simulator for an un-compromised electric guitar sound to blend with, loop or sit under your acoustic tone. A switch has been added on the face to easily switch from acoustic, electric or both together. The reason for the two outputs is to have the absolute best of both worlds rather than a single output that will compromise both pickups and be limited in it’s ability. In simple terms, an acoustic guitar should be played through a PA and an electric guitar should be played through an amp.

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 this 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.
