Cole clark Guardian made in Australia, this is a Strat lookalike thats were the comparison stops was in the market to buy a usa Fender fat strat tried a few was just about to hand over my money when I saw this guitar its a transculent blood red colured guitar I picked it up plugged it in and fell in love. The sound that come out was awesome crisper and cleaner than any of the Fenders i'd tried the guardian aslo had a humbucker when played in possie 5 gives a real hard rock sound I teamed it up with a Hughes and Kettner amp the clean sound is just so great. This guitar was made from bunya grover heads all the pickups are hand wound cole clarks. Australian made so its different if you don't want to be like most people who go out and buy a fender because of the name this is the guitar for you

been playing about 20 years if this guitar was stolen I'd buy another one or a cole clark mistress. I just love the sound for the price it can not be beaten a fender usa fat strat costs about $1700 this guitar cost me $1000 yet leaves the fat strat for dead.
