Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | Bobbo has a ColeClark Fat Lady (or some name like that) and I think it has blackwood sides.
He can tell us for sure but I do know that it is a very nice guitar that is well built and while not very loud, it has a very nice tone. |

Location: Ottawa, Canada | I will try to post some photos later. This is indeed a "Fat Lady". The FL3AC is the top of the line from the Fat Lady series. These are known for their incredible pick up systems. You have an under the saddle pick up, a face brace pick up mounted under the top and a back sensor pick up as well. You can blend between the tree to get the sound you are looking for. Even though she's a "fat Lady"....shes real purdy!!!! |

Location: Tennessee | Yup, that's mine all right. It's an FL2AC, with the Bunya top and the Tasmanian Blackwood back and sides. Mine is pretty early in their production, with handwritten label and QA sticker on the inside of the guitar. The top is actually pretty awesome ... lots of birdseye in it along with the terrific graining. The pickup system is real cool ... I've got the facebrace system that blends with the undersaddle. To me, it rivals anything Tak or Ovation has in the a/e side of the game.
Another cool thing about the guitar is that the back is carved by a CNC machine. Kinda like how the do the Hamer hollow-bodies or the EA Vipers in New Hartford. So their a little bit heavier and not quite as loud as a lot of guitars.
Here's a picture of the carved back with the facebrace sensor:
I've replaced the standard Rotomatics with gold SuperRotomatics with the art deco buttons which are standard to the FL3. Aside from some aesthetics, the guitars are pretty much the same. Real nice tone, built like a tank, and excellent plugged in. Excellent gigging guitar. |

it is a full size dred and as I recall it has a slightly deeper body depth than most. |
