Featuring three single-coil pickups and a five-way switch, the LA guitar is incredibly versatile, allowing you to experiment with all manner of playing styles.

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 made from thermally treated poplar laminate, an environmentally friendly option made using laminations of wood which are bonded together in resin, making the neck more stable. The stability of poplar laminate helps with tuning - particularly in situations with quick changes in temperature or humidity.
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.
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:
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.
Why not make the most of the pickups and pair your new LA with a great guitar amplifier, as in the available 10W amp pack and 15W amp & accessories pack!
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. The LA truly ticks all the boxes for budding players looking to start learning guitar.
Here's everything you'll find in the box:
