Cole Clark Studio True Hybrid Thinline TL1EC All-Mahogany HSS Acoustic Guitar
Cole Clark Studio True Hybrid Thinline TL1EC All-Mahogany
Cole Clark guitars unite traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge innovation, using sustainably sourced timbers and advanced electronics to create versatile instruments for the modern player. This True Hybrid Thinline model is an all-solid timber, cutaway design built entirely from mahogany, delivering a warm, focused tone with strong midrange presence and natural resonance. At the heart of the system is the Cole Clark PG3 acoustic preamp with strip piezo, paired with a set of True Balance magnetic pickups—featuring a humbucker and two single coils. With a dedicated electric output and a full suite of onboard controls, players can access a wide range of tones via five pickup configurations, along with a mini three-way toggle to switch between electric, acoustic, or blended outputs. Dual outputs allow seamless integration into both acoustic and electric rigs, making this a highly adaptable instrument for stage and studio use. The mahogany neck is matched with a smooth Eucalypt fretboard and bridge, offering a comfortable playing experience, while Grover machine heads provide dependable tuning stability. A Graph Tech Tusq nut and saddle enhance sustain and tonal consistency, and the 25.5" scale length with a 44mm nut width ensures a familiar, balanced feel across styles. Finished in a striking nitrocellulose sunburst, the guitar is complemented by solid timber binding, clean dot inlays, and a black pickguard for a classic yet modern aesthetic. Supplied with a Cole Clark gig bag, this True Hybrid is designed for players seeking the flexibility of electric and acoustic tones in a single, finely crafted instrument.
