After recognizing a trend among musicians to enhance their acoustic guitars with electric pickups, Cole Clark introduced a \u003cstrong\u003edual output acoustic guitar with built-in humbuckers\u003c\/strong\u003e in 2019. The success of these models spurred further development, culminating in three groundbreaking new models in the True Hybrid series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach model in the True Hybrid series features a sleek thinline design, equipped with the world-class \u003cstrong\u003eCole Clark PG3 acoustic pickup\u003c\/strong\u003e and an independent electric output. Guitarists can choose from configurations including \u003cstrong\u003etwo humbuckers, three single coils\u003c\/strong\u003e, or a mix of humbucker and single coils, ensuring versatile performance capabilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe True Hybrid guitars are engineered for exceptional balance between acoustic and electric tones, without any compromise on either. A unique challenge addressed by Cole Clark's electronics expert, Paul Gale, was the differential in volume produced by phosphor bronze strings on magnetic pickups. Gale's innovative solution, now patent pending, perfectly balances the sound for phosphor bronze strings, a breakthrough in hybrid guitar technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmploying \u003cstrong\u003eFinite Element Analysis (F.E.A)\u003c\/strong\u003e, commonly used in structural engineering, these guitars are meticulously designed for structural integrity and optimal performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll solid timber, cutaway Grand Auditorium, True Hybrid Thinline with F.E.A internal bracing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSustainably sourced timber construction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquipped with Cole Clark PG3 acoustic and balanced magnetic pickup systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Nitrocellulose (natural satin).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Queensland Maple.
