Cole Clark FL2EC-BLBL-SUN All Blackwood Dreadnought

Cole Clark FL2EC-BLBL-SUN All Blackwood Fat Lady 2 Cutaway Dreadnought

The FL2EC-BLBL-SUN is a standout from Cole Clark’s Fat Lady 2 series: an all-solid Australian Blackwood cutaway dreadnought finished in a rich nitrocellulose sunburst. Handcrafted in Melbourne, it pairs innovative Australian design with one of the country’s signature tonewoods for a distinctive voice that excels both acoustically and plugged in.

AA-grade solid Australian Blackwood forms the top, back, and sides. Closely related to Hawaiian Koa, this timber delivers a punchy midrange, strong clarity, controlled lows, and excellent definition—especially well-suited to percussive techniques, aggressive strumming, and amplified playing. Cole Clark’s internally carved top and back, Spanish-heel neck joint, and ridge construction (in place of traditional kerfing) enhance resonance, structural integrity, and long-term stability.

The satin sunburst nitro finish accentuates the natural grain and color variation of the Blackwood while allowing the wood to breathe. A Queensland Maple neck is paired with a She Oak (River Sheoak) fretboard and bridge featuring snowflake inlays. Key dimensions include a 25.5″ scale length, 44 mm (1.73″) nut width, and 12″ radius for a comfortable, modern playing feel. Grover tuners, Graph Tech Tusq nut and saddle, and Elixir Nanoweb Phosphor Bronze strings (12-53) complete the appointments.

The Cole Clark 3-way / PG3 True Acoustic pickup system is one of the guitar’s strongest assets. It combines an under-saddle piezo (for the low end), a patented face sensor (for the mids), and a condenser microphone (for the highs). The result is a highly natural, dynamic amplified tone with excellent feedback resistance and flexible blending/EQ control—ideal for stage and studio work.
