Classic Style and Versatile Sound
This Los Angeles is an affordable way for beginners to capture the vibe of some of music's most respected guitar greats. The sleek, double cutaway body and sparkling tones of its three single coil pickups are inspired by some of the most legendary guitars in the history of music.
Capable of producing anything from deep rock crunch, through jangly blues to sparkling highs, the LA can be used for both rhythm and lead at the flip of a switch. A 5 way selector gives access to the wealth of guitar sounds the LA has to offer - tones for everything from rock, blues and funk to jazz. Single coil pickups are known for their bright, sharp and clear ring with the neck pickup producing a mellow but full twang and the bridge position giving you a clean, acoustic-like ring.
Easy Playing Neck, Comfortable Body
The solid, contoured body of the LA guitar makes it comfortable to play. With a body crafted from Paulownia wood, this instrument is lightweight and easy to handle. The deep sunburst finish is matched with a white 3-ply pickguard and chrome hardware that complements this guitar's classic design.
The LA's full size, 21 fret neck combines a Maple back with a poplar laminate fingerboard. The smooth Maple allows comfortable, quick and easy movement along the neck for those faster licks whilst the guitar's double cutaway design lets you rip through blistering solos with easier access to the higher frets. The fingerboard adds a mellow depth and warmth to the guitar's sound with plenty of sustain.
If dive bombing or blues vibrato are your thing the LA is equipped with a vintage 6-point tremolo. If you prefer things a little more mellow, the tremolo arm is removable and can simply be attached when needed. The guitar also features a volume control and two tone dials, all of which sit within easy reach for quick adjustments during a gig.
Sustainable Tone Woods
The range of LA guitars features sustainable wood that meets the needs of the evolving world. Composed of poplar laminate, the dense and natural grain of the updated fretboards give improved tone and volume.
