High-quality build
Designed with the player in mind, LA select guitars prioritise high-quality craftsmanship and excellent ergonomics. Whether it be the contoured body, the punchy alnico pickups or the slim profile maple neck, these guitars provide player-friendly refinements at every opportunity.
The Ash body provides resonant and bright qualities which perfectly complement the alnico pickups, and has been specially contoured to a classic double cutaway design, giving easy access to the higher register of the guitar. The body also features in-built strap buttons, meaning you can play your LA select for hours without strain, and jam in whatever position feels most comfortable for you.
The smooth maple neck has been tailored to a slim and comfortable 'C shape' and topped with a buttery smooth poplar laminate fretboard - meaning you'll be happy picking, plucking, and strumming regardless of your experience, age, or influences.
Top-notch parts
The LA's high-quality hardware makes life a breeze - with die-cast tuning machines providing a smooth and accurate experience. The modern two-post tremolo bridge system and included tremolo arm offer a precise action, and the system is designed to consistently return to pitch with ease.
Versatile pickups and controls
Each LA guitar comes equipped with three punchy 'single coil' alnico pickups and a five-way selector switch - a setup well known for its use by players such as Nile Rodgers, John Frusciante, Jimi Hendrix and many many more... The five-way switch allows you to select different combinations of the three pickups as follows:
- Bridge Pickup Only
- Middle and Bridge Pickups
- Middle Pickup Only
- Neck and Middle Pickups
- Neck Pickup Only
These five different options give access to a plethora of iconic tones. For example, the 4th position is often associated with a funky, super clean sound due to it's particularly smooth and twangy timbre. On the other hand, the 1st position is closely associated with soaring guitar solos and rock rhythm parts, due to the way it cuts through clearly in a full-band setting.
The three awesome pickups are also controlled via intuitive volume and tone dials, making it easier than ever to get your ideal sound - the tone knob allows you to quickly brighten/dampen your tone, and the volume knob gives you instant access to adjusting your level.
15W Electric Guitar Amp by Gear4music
The 15W Electric Guitar Amp by Gear4music is a compact and reliable practice/gigging amplifier with an 6.5" speaker, intuitive controls and a great sound. The super-simple layout makes dialling-in tones feel remarkably straightforward, and allows ample room for experimentation.
The 'Low', 'Mid' and 'High' controls on the amp allow you to dial in your favourite EQ, whilst 'Gain' provides a wide range of tonal possibilities from sparkling cleans to crunchy rhythms. Plus, by selecting the additional 'Overdrive' channel you can take your tone into a whole other realm, perfect for soaring lead lines.
The in-built headphone output is another innovative feature which allows players to use the amplifier's technology whilst bypassing the speaker entirely. This is perfect for practicing without disturbing the neighbours, simply plug in your headphones and play. And with the 3.5mm aux input, you can jam along to your favourite songs and backing tracks through the headphones or speaker!
What's included?
The LA's included accessories truly seal the deal. There's a sturdy strap, which will let you practise and play standing up, as well as picks for hitting the strings. Then there's the cable for connecting the guitar to an amplifier, and a gigbag to help keep your instrument safe from knocks and scratches when you're carrying it around. This truly is the full package if you’re serious about guitar.
