Cole Clark is an Australian acoustic guitar manufacturer founded in 2001 by Bradley Clark and Adam Cole, based in Bayswater, Melbourne, Victoria. The company builds all of its instruments in Australia, employing around 30 staff and exporting to over 36 countries. Cole Clark is distinguished by its use of sustainably sourced Australian and New Zealand tonewoods — including Bunya Pine, Australian Blackwood, and Queensland Maple — as alternatives to endangered species like rosewood, with 98% of their guitars containing no endangered timber.
The core guitar range includes the FL Dreadnought, AN Grand Auditorium, LL Travel Guitar, TL Thinline, and SAN Studio Grand Auditorium, each available in multiple tiers (Series 1, 2, and 3) with various timber combinations. Cole Clark is one of the few mainstream steel-string acoustic makers to use Spanish heel (integral neck) construction, and the brand is widely recognized for its 3-way pickup system, designed to deliver what the company considers the most natural amplified acoustic tone available. The True Hybrid line, introduced with dual Humbucker pickups, allows players to switch between acoustic and electric tones or blend the two.
Cole Clark guitars are used by artists including Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, Xavier Rudd, Angus & Julia Stone, 5 Seconds of Summer, Snow Patrol, Johnny Marr, and Walk off the Earth, among many others spanning genres from folk and indie rock to country and alternative.
Cole Clark has 27 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Acoustic-Electric Guitars, Steel-string Acoustic Guitars, and Electric Basses. Their gear is featured by 15 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Pop, and Folk, World, & Country. Notable users include Julia Stone, Luke Hemmings, and James Dean Bradfield. Most Cole Clark products sit firmly in the high-end, boutique range.
