Schhhh don't tell Tony I actually like some Aussie stuff, urghhh wash my mouth out!! The Angel guitar is a very nice sounding GA and this dude does roadshows promoting Coles, he is a very accomplished player, shame he's an Aussie though.Chas, that vid was so Aussie!

Chas,
Very cool video. I really liked that playing. That tuning looks familiar......
I read that these guitar tops are actually all one piece. Meaning that instead of the standard bracing we know on Martins, Taylors, etc, they actually carve grooves (for a lack of a better term) into the bottom side of the top. I read the article a few issues ago in Acoustic Guitar Magazine. Very neat they way they did it.

The routed top is reminiscent of original method of making Violins. They also use the Spanish neck joint. In the bracing system they have which is unique and patented to Coles a facebrace system which is a series of piezos under the actual top bracing, you can actually phase between the bridge piezo and the top and balance out the tone. On the Angel ,(i haven't got an Angel just the FL1AC) the facebrace sound really comes into its own.I can't ignore the opportunity to point out these cool guitars, The Cole Clark Angel

MJ I believe they have extended the dealership in the US now. Don't know about SoCal though (wherever SoCal is lol) (note to self check online Atlas..)
Your secret is safe with me Chas. I think some of our country artists have done pretty well in Nashville, there's Keith Urban of course but also Kasey Chambers and a few others. Not really my style but I do like Kasey's sound.
Anyway back on subject. The Cole Clark is great value for money I think, all solid and quality tone woods. I just really, really don't like the look, particularly that distinctive neck. But each to their own. I won't argue that they sound really good.
