The AN 3 Six String Series features Cole Clark's patented 3-Way Pickup System. These guitars are crafted from "AAA" grade solid timbers and include premium touches such as abalone fretboard and face inlays, a bound Blackwood/Satin Box fingerboard, and an intricately bound bridge. The body and neck showcase detailed purfling and rosettes. Notably, there are no Rosewood elements unless specifically requested. The guitar comes with a hard case.
Cole Clark steel-string acoustics are the only mainstream guitars to use a Spanish heel or integral neck construction, where the neck is glued directly to the top, sides, and back, creating a single, unified piece that extends all the way to the soundhole. In contrast, most other guitars are built by attaching a pre-made neck to the body, typically using bolts or dovetail joints. This unique construction method contributes to the distinct, rich sound of Cole Clark guitars. Additionally, Cole Clark guitars feature a carved top and back, using a ridge system to join the sides to the top and back instead of traditional kerfing.
