Cole Clark AN3EC-EMEM — Elite All-Solid European Maple Masterpiece

Overview

The Cole Clark AN3EC-EMEM sits at the top of the Angel series, a showcase of premium tonewoods and meticulous Australian craftsmanship. Designed for discerning players who crave depth, clarity, and a refined tonal balance, this instrument embodies Cole Clark’s dedication to sustainable construction and world-class amplified tone.

Key Features & Benefits

All-Solid European Maple Construction
Built entirely from sustainably sourced European Maple — top, back, and sides — the AN3EC-EMEM delivers an articulate, balanced voice with shimmering highs, rich mids, and smooth low-end warmth. This wood combination offers incredible projection and tonal evenness, ideal for both strumming and intricate fingerstyle.

Advanced PG3 Pickup System
Equipped with Cole Clark’s flagship PG3 pickup system, the AN3EC captures the most natural acoustic sound possible. Three independent sensors — under-saddle piezo, face sensor, and internal condenser mic — work together to reproduce every nuance of your playing. A simple onboard preamp allows precise blending of these sources for true studio-grade tone on stage.

Performance-Focused Design
The Grand Auditorium body with cutaway provides both comfort and dynamic range. Its internally carved top and proprietary bracing deliver superb resonance and stability, while the satin nitrocellulose finish allows the wood to breathe freely for maximum tonal response.

Aesthetic & Build Qualities

Elegant in its restraint, the AN3EC-EMEM’s light golden hue and fine grain patterns highlight the beauty of European Maple. Subtle timber purfling, abalone fretboard inlays, and natural binding reflect the understated sophistication of Cole Clark’s high-end craftsmanship. Every detail — from its hand-carved top to its smooth fretwork — reflects the precision and pride of Australian luthiery.
