The Cole Clark FL2E-12 Blackwood/Blackwood is a stunning 12-string acoustic-electric guitar from the acclaimed Fat Lady 2 series. Built with all-solid Australian Blackwood for the top, back, and sides, this dreadnought delivers a warm, lush tone with exceptional resonance. Whether strummed or fingerpicked, the rich harmonics of the 12-string configuration bring a shimmering presence to your playing, ideal for both live performance and studio sessions.

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.
