jannusguy Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 any of the good folks here have any experience with cole clark guitars. i have none but am toying with the idea of swapping the '96 j45 i have for sale for a CC FL1. obviously, i will have a better idea once i've played it if it's my cup of tea but i thought, in the meantime, someone here might weigh in with an opinion. hope this isn't against the rules. thanks, rob
ballcorner Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Bradley Clark worked for Maton (Tommy Emmanuel's guitars are Matons) and I find the Cole Clarks sound a lot like Matons. Like Taylor, the Cole Clark is a milled guitar made primarily on CNC equipment with an innovative and proprietary slotting technique to align and set braces. The top on a Fat Lady 1 would be Bunya, I believe, and that is quite a brittle projection to go to after playing smooth Gibson tops. When I look at your collection, I wonder if this guitar would really do anything for you unless you are looking for a particularly bright guitar. Here is a link that might give you an idea of what you would be getting. Personally, I would rather have the J45 - but of course this deal is entirely up to you.
TWilson Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 I have no personal experience with them, sorry, but if you want to give one a listen, Jack Johnson plays Cole Clark F2 guitars for his acoustic stuff.
