Cole Clark ‘Australian Eco’ series

Some good news for a change from the usual political/forest industry dramas.

Melbourne-based Cole Clark guitars have just announced their all-Australian Eco series.

“These new models feature 100% sustainable timbers by replacing endangered timbers with sustainable Australian substitutes“.

Farm-grown Tasmanian blackwood features prominently in the series.

For those wanting to avoid rainforest timbers these are a great alternative.

The idea of an all-Australian commercial guitar has finally become reality.

Now the next step is to get farmers to actually start to plant and manage these timbers. I suspect most of these timbers are salvage logged rather than the result of active management.

But one step at a time.

Congratulations Cole Clark!
