“We took the liberty of bringing over some guitars we thought you might enjoy, Mr. Campbell. After you’ve rested a bit, I’ll be back with the limousine to take you to the store...”

It wouldn’t surprise me if, all across Australia, every music store employee is shown your picture and given these instructions: “If Bruce Campbell shows up, be VERY nice to the man!”

I can name 3 guitar stores here straight off the top of my head that hate me!

I seem to recall when Cole Clark guitars appeared on the scene that their higher spec Fat Lady 2 and 3 models were gloss finish and the lower FL1 was satin but hey, that was ages ago.
BTW neither Brad Clark or Adam Cole ( one of them was a wizard with electronics but a little eccentric and hard to work with I heard once ) are still with Cole Clark and yes, they both worked at Maton before leaving and setting up CC.
