AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
The Cole Clark AN3EC-BLBL 'Angel' Blackwood/Blackwood is a stunning example of premium craftsmanship from Cole Clark’s elite 3 Series. This grand auditorium acoustic-electric guitar features a cutaway body and is crafted entirely from figured Australian Blackwood, offering a rich, resonant tone with exceptional clarity and warmth. Known for its small body and big presence, the AN3EC shines in live settings thanks to Cole Clark’s renowned 3-way pickup system, delivering a natural, full-range amplified tone.
Aesthetically, this guitar is nothing short of breathtaking. It features inlaid timber binding and purfling, an ebony fretboard and bridge, and abalone inlays on the rosette, waist, and fretboard. Gold Grover tuners and a natural satin nitrocellulose finish add to its sophisticated appeal, while the PLEK-processed frets ensure perfect playability right out of the case. Whether on stage or in the studio, the AN3EC Blackwood/Blackwood offers a lush, balanced tone in a visually striking and expertly crafted package.

All-solid figured Blackwood body with natural satin nitrocellulose finish
Cole Clark 3-way pickup system for world-class amplified tone
Grand auditorium cutaway design with internally carved top and back
Ebony fretboard and bridge with abalone inlays for added visual elegance
Includes Cole Clark tweed hard case and optional pickguard supplied in case
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.
