Full Description
View Full DescriptionClassic 12-string chime
Featuring a custom designed bridge, nut and headstock, the LA 12-String electric guitar boasts double the number of strings as its traditional counterparts. This extra set of strings creates a unique 'chime' sound when played, as the slightly de-tuned strings interact with each other. This unusual effect is the very draw of the 12-string guitar, as it adds a whole new depth and complexity to your sound which otherwise is difficult to achieve.
Player-friendly build
The body of the instrument is crafted from lightweight basswood, allowing you to play for hours without strain, and ensuring you always feel your best during practice sessions. Two in-built strap buttons make it easy to attach the included strap, enabling you to jam in whatever position feels most comfortable for you. Additionally, the classic-double cutaway design and smooth maple neck mean that you can play anywhere on the fretboard with complete confidence - picking, plucking, and strumming regardless of your experience, age, or influences.
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, especially when paired with the unique tone of a 12-string. 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.
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 gig bag 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.
