The Cole Clark FL2EC Blackwood/Blackwood is a premium acoustic-electric guitar that delivers rich tone, dynamic projection, and exceptional playability. Part of the Fat Lady 2 Series, it features a cutaway dreadnought body constructed entirely from solid Australian Blackwood, renowned for its warmth and midrange clarity. Enhanced with inlaid timber binding, snowflake fretboard inlays, and a natural satin nitrocellulose finish, this guitar is built to perform while looking stunning on stage or in the studio.

Equipped with Cole Clark’s acclaimed 3-way pickup system, the FL2EC offers natural amplified sound with superb tonal balance and responsiveness. The internally carved top and back provide powerful acoustic projection, while the She Oak fretboard and bridge ensure smooth playability. With Grover tuners and Graph Tech Tusq components, tuning stability and sustain are guaranteed. This guitar also undergoes the PLEK process, delivering a perfectly optimized setup straight out of the box.

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.
