The greatest gift. A first step into music. The LA Electric Guitar is the quickest way to get stuck into the world of rock n roll. Its single-coil pickups let you fill the air with delicate clean tones or puncture it with a distorted wall of sound. The slim C-shape neck makes it easier for you to learn and master chords. Itll probably take you less than 30 minutes to learn G major and D major – which is all you need to play Should I Stay or Should I Go. Thats how close you are to being able to play guitar. And because of the contoured body itll sit in your hands and fit your body just right. The LA electric is the ideal first step into music. Get Ahead We had one goal. Create a guitar that has everything you need to kickstart your playing. Thats why the core elements of the LA electric are manufactured to our exacting standards. You don’t have to worry about your guitar stopping you from playing what you want. Get Electrified Explore limitless tonal possibilities. The three single-coil pickups let you barrel through punk songs. Or you can dial them back and go clean – youll find a purer sound that releases the calm of softer music styles. Get the exact sound you want from your pickups. The five-way pickup selector switch lets you choose from the neck middle and bridge pickup (and in between). In the neck position you’ll find a smooth warm sound. In the bridge a more aggressive cutting tone which is great for overdriven styles. Finally the middle pickup offers that twangy funk and blues snap. A guitar just right for rhythm and lead parts. Experiment even further with your sound thanks to the six-point tremolo. Just by pushing or pulling the tremolo arm you’ll create great pitch-bend effects. Get Playing Lightweight. Hard-wearing. Easy to Handle. You’re going to use this thing so we made sure it would keep up with you. The paulownia wood body is just right – even down to the contour along the back so it sits comfortably. Then theres the double cutaway where the neck meets the body which lets you get high up the neck without anything getting in your way. The full-size 22-fret neck is easy to get around too. Its been milled from a solid piece of maple and then polished smooth letting your hand reach each note easily. This is combined with a slim C-shape neck – the easiest neck to learn on (especially if you have small hands!). It’s also got clear universal dot inlays along the board making it easier to navigate up and down the length of the neck. Because learning needs a lot of practice the fingerboard is built to last. It’s made from multiple layers of poplar which means it’ll endure every chord riff and note you play on it for years. Note: We source our woods sustainably. The LA electric does not contain woods from any exhausted or endangered sources. It is fully CITES compliant.   Press Reviews This guitar was awarded 4 out of 5 by MusicRadar in a review of the LA Electric Guitar + Amp Pack. “This is a perfect place to begin a serious love affair with the electric guitar a relationship that if youre lucky will last a lifetime.” “In clean mode the guitars inbetween settings positions two and four on the selector are authentic.” “The guitar has been finished nicely and additions such as two string trees and a competently-cut plastic nut are impressive.” MusicRadar “This guitar just has a sound of its own and theres a mellow warmth … thats quite endearing.” Guitar & Bass Magazine “Gear4music pride themselves on the fact that their instruments are made to decent playable standards.
