Crafted for the player
Designed with the player in mind, LA guitars prioritise minimal weight and excellent ergonomics. As such, the body of the instrument is crafted from lightweight paulownia, allowing you to play for hours without strain, and ensuring you always feel your best during practice sessions.
The classic double cutaway design and contoured body shape offer easy access to the entire fretboard, and the body's in-built strap buttons make it easy to attach the included strap, enabling you to jam in whatever position feels most comfortable for you.
The guitar's neck is crafted from maple, widely used due to its hard wearing and humidity resistant nature. Layered on top of the neck, the guitar's fretboard is built from thermally treated poplar laminate, an environmentally friendly and extremely stable wood.
The LA's hardware is equally as impressive. The six-screw vintage-style bridge system offers an extra edge to your sound, allowing you to dive bomb, flutter or add subtle pitch variations as you play. At the headstock, the six die cast tuners and two string-trees make sure that you can focus on playing, confident that your instrument is in tune.
Versatile pickups and controls
Each LA guitar comes equipped with three punchy 'single coil' 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
Explainer: pickups are the magnets which take the vibrations of a guitar string and transfer the signal to an amplifier - learn more in the attached guitar guide!
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.

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!
