History
Cole Clark Guitars is the brand of Australian Native Musical Instruments Pty Ltd., registered in August 2001. The company manufactures acoustic, hybrid, electric bass, electric and lap steel guitars in Australia, with a Melbourne facility, and sells through retail stores and a distributor network covering 36 export countries plus domestic retail. Cole Clark states that its acoustic guitars are the only mainstream steel string acoustic to use a Spanish heel or integral neck construction, in which the neck is glued to the face along with the sides and back so the neck is one piece all the way to the sound hole; this integral neck construction is described as essential for the company's advanced pickup technology. The guitars also have carved tops and backs and use a ridge system to join the sides to the top and back instead of kerfing. The Cole Clark 3-way PG3 pickup system is described by the company as the most acoustic sounding pickup available, comprising three different elements that only hear frequencies they are best equipped to handle, using a combination of six loaded piezos under the saddle for bottom end and a face sensor that can be blended in. Cole Clark is also the exclusive Australian distributor for several international brands, including T-Rex Effects, Baton Rouge Guitars, Baton Rouge Ukuleles, La Mancha Classical, Timber Tones Picks and Lute Hole.
