Cole Clark CCRAN2EC-BLBL-AE Recording Series All Solid Blackwood Grand Auditorium Acoustic Guitar w/ Pickup SN#322

All-Blackwood Recording Series With Cole Clark’s PG3 Pickup

The Cole Clark CCRAN2EC-BLBL-AE is a made-in-Australia Recording Series grand auditorium with a solid AA grade blackwood top and solid AA grade Australian blackwood back and sides. Blackwood gives this model a firm, clear voice with some koa-like character, making it a good fit for players who want a stronger acoustic sound with enough focus for plugged-in use.

The Recording Series construction is aimed more at acoustic volume and body than the stage-focused Touring models, using a large X brace with a rear T brace and a smaller soundhole for added low-end response. The internally carved top and back, Spanish heel construction and Plek fret work all contribute to a guitar that feels settled, resonant and clean across the neck.

Cole Clark’s PG3 pickup system combines a microphone, face sensor and strip piezo, giving the guitar a more complete amplified signal than a simple piezo-only setup. Other details include a natural satin nitrocellulose finish, sheoak fingerboard and bridge, abalone dot inlays, Grover machine heads, Graph Tech Tusq nut and saddle, and a tweed Cole Clark hardcase.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the CCRAN2EC-BLBL-AE is a strong option for players who want the fuller acoustic response of Cole Clark’s Recording Series, with the familiar clarity and stage practicality of the PG3 pickup system.
