Cole Clark FL2EC-BB — The Bunya and Blackwood Performer

Overview

The Cole Clark FL2EC-BB brings together the bold resonance of the Fat Lady dreadnought body with the rich tonal character of all-solid Australian Bunya and Blackwood. Designed for serious performers, it offers remarkable projection, balance, and clarity — both unplugged and amplified. With Cole Clark’s advanced PG3 pickup system, this guitar delivers a natural, mic-like tone that captures the heart of Australian acoustic craftsmanship.

Key Features & Benefits

All-Solid Australian Tonewoods
The FL2EC-BB features solid Australian Bunya for the top, and Blackwood for the back, and sides — signature Cole Clark tonewoods known for their warm midrange, tight bass, and articulate treble response. The result is a sound that’s full yet focused, equally suited for strumming, flatpicking, and nuanced fingerstyle work.

Powerful Dreadnought Projection
The Fat Lady body shape offers deep resonance and impressive volume while maintaining clarity across the tonal spectrum. Its cutaway design provides easy upper-fret access, making it ideal for both rhythm players and soloists who require power and precision.

PG3 Pickup System for True Acoustic Amplification
Equipped with Cole Clark’s flagship PG3 pickup system, the FL2EC-BB captures an incredibly natural acoustic sound. Its tri-sensor design — under-saddle piezo, face sensor, and internal microphone — is engineered to reflect the tonal balance of the instrument itself, giving players consistent, feedback-resistant tone on stage or in the studio.
