skipclone 1 Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share Posted July 10, 2006 It`s a Cole Clark, they`re based in Melbourne. I wanted this thing so much I exhibited behavior completely unknown for me. One, I found it on the internet and bought it without having played it. Two, I bought it second hand-but whoever owned it before must have barely touched it, it`s totally pristine. All Australian timber, though what timber exactly I have no idea. I actually flew to Australia, took a bus from Sydney to Woolangong, and still spent less than if I had bought it in Japan. It is rock solid, very easy to play. The in-house pickups are nice, not exceptional. May switch those out later.

Tedster Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I was gonna say, you flew all the way to Sydney to buy it? I think I'll try that on my wife... "Hon...I'm gonna buy a new guitar.

Phillydor Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I've heard of Cole Clarks and will investigate further. Hope you enjoyed Sydney (and Woolongong). I'm sure your guitar has left some pleasant vibes while it leaned against the harbour bridge pylon like that - next time I'm in that park I'll be thinking of your Cole Clark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bbach1 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 That is one sweet looking guitar Skip. I don't know if I'd fly to Austrailia to get one, but I'd drive to Michigan.

skipclone 1 Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share Posted July 10, 2006 Hi and good morning. Play as good as it looks folks, I kid you not. In fact if you look at the guitar furthest to the right in my avatar, it also plays great but the Cole Clark has the playability I was after when I bought that one (for a higher price no less). I`m not always a fan of those teeny tiny hard rock machine-style bodies. This one fits my hands and arms, has a fast fretboard, strings have a wide but not too wide spacing, easy to articulate notes. I`ll be doing some recording with it after summer break so some posted sounds will be forthcoming.

caprae Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I can see you carrying that babe all over Australia taking pictures of it. Now you need to do the same in Japan. Here's my guitar at Mt.

Ha! well if you know cherry blossom festivals, there`s no way I could hold a camera steady at those events. Anyway I don`t name my instruments and the guys who made this one already came up with one that`s hard to beat-it`s called the `Mistress.` Same old surprises, brand new cliches- Skipsounds on Soundclick: www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandid=602491 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
