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 antique red LA select is built upon a basswood body. Used throughout the guitar industry due to its lightweight and dampening qualities, basswood is a rich tone wood which has the added benefit of being environmentally friendly. The antique red finish adorns a classic double cutaway body shape, with all the common playing areas having been worn away for a pre-loved look.
The aged maple neck has been tailored to a slim and comfortable 'C shape' and topped with a smooth aged maple fretboard. The aging process creates a worn-in feel to the guitar, with the attractive 'silvering' on the back of the neck having the added benefit of making it extremely smooth. This means you'll be happy right away with picking, plucking, and strumming - regardless of your experience, age, or influences.
Aged hardware
The LA's high-quality hardware makes tuning a breeze - with aged die-cast tuning machines providing a smooth and accurate tuning experience. The classic tremolo bridge system has also been aged to match the antique body and offers a precise tremolo action which returns to tune 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.
