Why Choose the True Hybrid?
Unlike typical hybrids that sacrifice acoustic character, Cole Clark engineers used Finite Element Analysis and custom adjustable pole pieces to deliver a balanced magnetic pickup that works with phosphor bronze strings. The result is an instrument that genuinely bridges acoustic and electric worlds, offering lush unplugged resonance and electric tones ranging from sparkling single‑coil clarity to humbucker punch.
