2015 Cole Clark Fat Lady FL2EC - RDBW

6 April 2024

This was bought locally in early April 2024. I don't normally like Cole Clarks or Dreadnoughts but it was a bargain and I thought it'd be handy to have another relative cheapie to just keep in open D tuning all the time. If you're familiar with the architectural style called "Brutalism" then that's the way I see Cole Clark's guitars. They don't try to pretty them up, the standard of finish is pretty basic, but the pickups are great.

Peghead join making absolutely no attempt to pretty it up but it does look indestructible
