Watch
Why it matters
Cole Clark builds in Australia and its reputation rests on its pickup system, which uses a face sensor rather than relying on an undersaddle element alone. The Fat Lady is the shape the brand is built around, offered in several series with different timber sets and pickup choices. Pricing varies with those choices, so buyers outside Australia usually end up comparing dealer listings rather than a single list price.
Note
The signature Grand Auditorium shape with carved top.

Before you buy
- The pickup system is the reason to buy one, so try it through a PA before deciding
- Timber combinations change both the sound and the price substantially
- Australian-built stock carries import costs, so compare landed prices rather than sticker prices
