Classic 12-string jangle
With a custom designed bridge, nut and headstock, the LA 12-String has double the number of strings as a traditional guitar - creating a unique 'chime' sound when played. Designed with the player in mind, LA guitars prioritise minimal weight and excellent ergonomics. 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.
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. 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 pack!
