The Essentials to Know About the Cole Clark True Hybrid Studio Thinline Grand Auditorium Guitar

  • "True Hybrid" Hybrid Concept: electro-acoustic combining the EQ 3-band PG3 and an HSS configuration (1 humbucker + 2 single-coils) to switch from a natural acoustic sound to inspiring electric textures.
  • Solid Woods: solid mahogany top, back, and sides for warm mids, a soft attack, and excellent stability.
  • Grand Auditorium Thinline Cutaway Format: optimal comfort, easy access to high notes, and better feedback control on stage.
  • Premium Equipment: Grover tuners, Tusq Graph Tech nuts, eucalyptus fingerboard/bridge, nitrocellulose finish, and included gig bag.

A New Hybrid Era by Cole Clark

With the "True Hybrid" series, Cole Clark blends its modern acoustic lutherie with electronics designed for stage and studio. Constructed from responsibly sourced solid woods, refined Grand Auditorium ergonomics, and multiple pickups: this guitar stands as a natural bridge between acoustic and electric worlds.

Who Is It For and Which Styles?

Ideal for intermediate to advanced guitarists who perform live, record in home studios, or alternate between acoustic and electric sets. Folk, pop, indie, rock, blues, or light fingerstyle: its versatility covers accompaniment, arpeggios, and pick playing with a single guitar. Demanding beginners will also appreciate its "Thinline" comfort and cutaway.

Sound

The solid mahogany (top, back, sides) delivers a warm, woody tone rich in mids, with smooth highs and controlled bass. The Grand Auditorium Thinline format focuses projection for easy mixing, clean sustain, and better resistance to stage feedback. On the electronics side, the three-band PG3 offers a natural and adjustable acoustic sound, while the HSS section opens a wide palette: crisp and punchy single-coils, denser and singing humbucker tone. Blending these sources allows sculpting very current hybrid textures.
