Cole Clark AN2EC-BBR Bunya and Blackwood Grand Auditorium

Cole Clark AN2EC-BBR Angel 2 Bunya / Blackwood Grand Auditorium

The AN2EC-BBR is a cutaway Grand Auditorium from Cole Clark’s Angel 2 series, pairing an AA-grade Australian Bunya top with AA-grade Australian Blackwood back and sides and a rosewood fretboard and bridge. Handcrafted in Melbourne, it offers a balanced, articulate voice with the brand’s signature natural amplified tone.

Bunya (a native Australian conifer) delivers clarity, dynamic response, and strong midrange presence with a slightly brighter, more open character than traditional spruce. Combined with Blackwood back and sides—closely related to Koa and known for punchy mids, controlled bass, and excellent projection—the result is a versatile Grand Auditorium tone that works equally well for fingerstyle, strumming, and stage work. Cole Clark’s internally carved top and back, Spanish-heel neck joint, and ridge construction support resonance, stability, and longevity.

The natural satin nitrocellulose finish highlights the pale Bunya grain against the richer Blackwood. A Queensland Maple neck is paired with a rosewood fretboard and bridge featuring abalone dot inlays. Specs include a 25.5″ scale length, 44 mm nut width, and 12″ radius. Grover tuners and a Graph Tech Tusq nut and saddle complete the appointments.

Electronics are the Cole Clark PG3 True Acoustic pickup system (under-saddle piezo for lows, patented face sensor for mids, and condenser microphone for highs), delivering a natural, feedback-resistant amplified sound suitable for stage and studio.
