True Hybrid:

Uncompromised acoustic plugged sound, uncompromised Electric guitar sound. You need to use Phosphor Bronze strings for the acoustic plugged in sound to be good. The magnetic electric guitar pickups do not pick up Phosphor Bronze, they only pick up the nickel core on the wound strings. As there is only a small amount of nickel in Phosphor Bronze Strings, and the tension is low, the bottom four strings are quiet. Not so with the Cole Clark True Hybrid. The Alnico 5 magnets in Cole Clark magnetic pickups are balanced. For example, the B string is 80 milliteslas and the G string 185 milliteslas. This makes the electric guitar sound identical to using nickel strings on a standard electric guitar. This process for controlling magnetic levels is up to Patent Applied For, with the application for Full Patent in. This makes the Cole Clark True Hybrid the only Hybrid that works properly.  All Cole Clark magnetic pickups are made at Cole Clark in Australia.

Cole Clark True hybrids are available in multi-pickup versions in Thinline and AN guitars. These include Humbucker 2 single coils, 3 single coils and 2 humbucker versions. They are also available in single Humbucker models with a sound hole in FL, AN, Mini, and 12 string Cole Clark guitars
