From the Blackwood top to the Queensland Maple neck, the AN2ECBLBLR is grown and built on home soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAll-Australian Blackwood, Top to Tail\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Angel is cut entirely from AA-grade Australian Blackwood — top, back and sides. A close cousin of Hawaiian Koa, Blackwood sits beautifully between mahogany and rosewood: warm and woody with a strong, vocal midrange, sparkling highs and a tight low end that only opens up and sweetens the more you play it. An all-Blackwood body gives the Angel a balanced, cohesive voice that flatters fingerstyle and strumming alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Angel Shape: A Carved, Cutaway Grand Auditorium\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Angel is Cole Clark's cutaway Grand Auditorium — roomy enough to push real volume, yet tight-waisted and comfortable against the body. What sets it apart is hidden inside: rather than conventional bracing, Cole Clark internally carves the solid top and back to graduated thickness, then joins the sides with a ridge system instead of kerfing. The Venetian cutaway opens up easy access to the upper frets for lead lines and chord work up the neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpanish-Heel Build, All Solid Timber\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike every Cole Clark steel-string, the Angel 2 uses traditional Spanish-heel (integral neck) construction — the Queensland Maple neck runs as one continuous piece right through to the soundhole, glued to the top, back and sides for a rock-solid, resonant neck join. It's all solid timber, built almost entirely from sustainable native Australian tonewoods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePG3 True Acoustic Pickup System\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlug in and the Angel keeps its acoustic soul thanks to Cole Clark's flagship PG3 system — widely regarded as one of the most natural-sounding acoustic pickups on the market. It blends three sources: six individual under-saddle piezos handling the low end, Cole Clark's patented face sensor capturing the all-important midrange, and a condenser microphone for air and sparkle up top. The result is a detailed, feedback-resistant tone that sounds like your guitar, not a piezo — ready for the stage or the studio straight out of the case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHardware \u0026amp; Playability\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rosewood fingerboard and bridge sit over a comfortable 25.5″ scale with a 12″ radius and a 44mm nut — a spec that suits both pick and fingerstyle players. Grover machine heads keep tuning solid, a Graph Tech Tusq nut and saddle add clarity and consistent string-to-string balance, and subtle abalone dot inlays mark the way. Inlaid timber binding, purfling and rosette frame the satin nitrocellulose finish, which lets the Blackwood breathe and age gracefully. Strung with Phosphor Bronze 12-53.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Case\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AN2ECBLBLR ships in a Cole Clark tweed hardcase, with a matching pickguard supplied loose in the case if you'd like it fitted. Left-handed players are covered too — order the AN2EC-LH-BLBLR. As with all solid-timber instruments, grain and figure vary from guitar to guitar, so yours is genuinely one of a kind. Set up in-store by Guitar World Australia's techs before it ships to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCole Clark\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAN2ECBLBLR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eSeries\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAngel 2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eBody Shape\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCutaway Grand Auditorium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eConstruction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll solid timber, internally carved top and back\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eTop\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAA grade Australian Blackwood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAA grade Australian Blackwood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eNeck\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQueensland Maple\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eFingerboard\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRosewood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eBridge\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRosewood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eBinding \/ Purfling \/ Rosette\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInlaid timber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eInlays\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAbalone dot\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003ePickup System\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCole Clark PG3 True Acoustic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eMachine Heads\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrover\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eNut \u0026amp; Saddle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGraph Tech Tusq\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eNut Width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e44mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eFingerboard Radius\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eScale Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25.5″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eStrings\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePhosphor Bronze 12-53\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eFinish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNitrocellulose (natural satin)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eCase\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCole Clark tweed hardcase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eAlso Supplied\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePickguard (in case)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eLeft-Handed Option\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAN2EC-LH-BLBLR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eHandedness\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRight-handed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Cole Clark","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52619802771746,"sku":"AN2EC-BLBLR","price":2688.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/0066\/2818\/files\/Cole-Clark-AN2ECBLBLR-no-stripe-2__60621.1782278966.1280.1280.jpg?v=1790233968","url":"https:\/\/guitar.com.au\/products\/cole-clark-angel-2-all-blackwood-an2ecblblr","provider":"Guitar World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
