Cole Clark FL1

Very basic guitar, but I kind of like that. The nut, saddle, and bridge pins are Graphtech Tusq, which is a plus. The fret markers are small and don't match, color wise, and I would have prefered no markers if they were going for simplicity. The tuners are Grover and they work great, and the case it comes with is perfect. Personally, I am happy to give up on cosmetics for the solid wood guitar.

Probably the best part of the guitar, (and really what is important, no?). It is balanced across the board, but the base really stands out in a good way. The guitar is very light and volume and sustain are incredible. Nothing is perfect, so I won't give it a 10, but it does sound very, very, good.

I've read other reviews praising setup, but I have to say I was a bit disappointed. Action was a bit high and the nut needed slight adjustment on the 3rd and 6th strings. Very playable from the factory, but not as good as my Martin which I didn't have to do a thing with, but play.

This is a well-made guitar, but it doesn't come with any sort of binding on the body edges. It is a very fragile point and will be easy to knock and dent. The finish is satin and looks very nice and the strap buttons are bullet proof.

I've not had to deal with any warranty issues, but I have emailed to get spec info and was replied to by Bradley Clark, himself. You just can't do better than that, folks.

Just a good, solid guitar that gives more than the price you'll pay. It is what you should buy from the start as it is that inexpensive and one that you'll not outgrow.
