Cole Clark Fat Lady FL3EC - All Blackwood

The Cole Clark CCFL3EC-BLBL Fat Lady 3 represents the ultimate summit of live acoustic projection, sustainable master-grade lutherie, and elite visual artistry. Handcrafted by master builders in Melbourne, Australia, this flagship dreadnought cutaway combines a fully solid, AAA-grade Tasmanian Blackwood body with Cole Clark’s most prestigious decorative and structural design enhancements, delivering a world-class performance instrument for the serious professional artist.

Flagship Power of an All-Blackwood Dreadnought
Utilizing highly figured, AAA-grade Tasmanian Blackwood for the soundboard, back, and sides gives the legendary Fat Lady dreadnought chassis an incredibly sophisticated, muscular acoustic voice. Tasmanian Blackwood commands a unique sonic profile, delivering the complex, three-dimensional harmonic depth of master-grade rosewood paired with the singing, vibrant upper-midrange sparkle and fast transient compression of premium Hawaiian Koa. Built into a full-scale dreadnought body, this all-Blackwood engine projects an immense, authoritative bass floor and robust low-mid punch, ensuring that complex strumming arrangements and delicate flatpicking maintain absolute definition across the frequency spectrum.

Master Artisan Engineering
As part of Cole Clark’s premier 3 Series, this instrument features immaculate, hand-inlaid sustainable exotic timber binding, a highly detailed timber soundhole rosette, gold Grover tuners adorned with velvet buttons, and a flawless premium ebony fingerboard decorated with intricate timber and abalone block markers. Beneath these elite cosmetic appointments lies Cole Clark’s defining structural innovation: an integrated Spanish Heel construction. The Queensland Maple neck block is carved as a single, continuous unit extending deep into the body shell to permanently fuse the top, sides, and back plate. This eliminates structural energy loss completely, yielding endless sustain and unmatched structural durability through dramatic climate shifts.

Unrivaled Live Stage Amplification
On stage, the CCFL3EC-BLBL deploys the industry-standard Cole Clark PG3 3-Way Analog Pickup System. Built explicitly to eliminate the brittle, synthetic harshness that plagues standard under-saddle piezo systems, the PG3 splits your live signal safely across three dedicated, feedback-resistant capture mechanisms:

• 6 Individual Saddle Piezos: Routed through an internal crossover network to focus solely on deep sub-bass frequencies below 350Hz.
• Patented Face Sensor: Hard-mounted to the internally carved soundboard to capture organic mid-range wood vibrations.
• Condenser Microphone: Shelved at high frequencies to introduce transparent acoustic "air" and natural atmosphere without triggering live stage feedback loop frequencies.
