Cole Clark 'Fat Lady' FL2EC Blackwood / Blackwood Humbucker Acoustic Electric Guitar

The Cole Clark FL2EC Blackwood/Blackwood Humbucker Acoustic Electric Guitar combines the tonal warmth and power of Cole Clark’s iconic Fat Lady dreadnought body with cutting-edge pickup technology and stage-ready versatility. Handcrafted from all solid Australian Blackwood for the top, back, and sides, this guitar delivers a bold, articulate voice with superb projection. The natural satin nitrocellulose finish enhances resonance while showcasing the beautiful timber grain. Visually, it features elegant timber binding, purfling, a rosette, and snowflake fretboard inlays that elevate the instrument’s aesthetic appeal.

What truly sets the FL2EC apart is its advanced dual-pickup configuration. In addition to the Cole Clark PG3 acoustic pickup system, this model features a bridge-mounted Lollar Imperial humbucker—perfect for blending clean acoustic tones with gritty electric sounds. The humbucker is mounted in a block and offers independent tone and volume controls, with separate output capability. This setup is ideal for musicians looking to explore dynamic sonic textures, especially in live settings where versatility is key. With a PLEK-optimized neck, Grover machine heads, and Graph Tech components, the FL2EC is built for professional-grade performance.

• All-solid Australian Blackwood body with nitro satin finish for rich, warm tone

• Cole Clark PG3 pickup system paired with Lollar Imperial humbucker

PLEK

All of our Cole Clarks have been PLEKed!

PLEK machines are built and sold by A+D Gitarrentechnologie of Berlin, Germany. The machines were developed by musician and guitar instructor Gerd Anke with his partner Michael Dubach, who called their company PLEKTRON when it was founded in 1990. The goal of the PLEK process they created is to guarantee the best possible string action for each instrument. Simply put, a guitar with optimized playability sounds better. The strings do not strike the frets during playing and any intonation problems that may occur due to too-low string action are eliminated. Similarly, action that’s too high is also a thing of the past with PLEKing.

The PLEKing process is done by CNC (computer numerical control) machines, which use microprocessors to perform their tasks. That doesn’t mean human craftspeople are excluded from this process. The PLEK machine is ultimately a tool to reduce variances between guitars, which allows Cole Clarks expert builders to do their jobs more efficiently.
