The new Thinline series from Australian guitar builder Cole Clark has absolutely blown us away. The pairing of their stunning 3-way pickup system with a ridiculously comfortable thinline body is a performers absolute dream. Unlike so many thinline guitars, these instruments have a beautiful acoustic tone, albeit at a softer volume than a full size instrument. Plugged in is where this instrument truly shines, the combination of traditional piezo with blendable body sensor and condenser mic as well as a three band EQ and filter contour button allow this guitar to produce the most beautifully natural sound while running through an amplifier. Cole Clark guitars are hands down some of the best acoustic electric instruments on the market, and the new Thinline body has instantly become of of our favorite guitars we've had come in the shop!
