However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.
Key Features
The Red LA Electric Guitar is a full-sized electric guitar which provides an ultra-comfortable playing experience ideal for budding guitarists or those looking to expand an existing collection. All LA guitars arrive ready to play straight from the box, having already been strung and set-up as standard - all that's required is a quick tune up!
Crafted from a smooth maple neck, lightweight paulownia body and a poplar laminate fretboard, the red LA guitar provides a player-friendly platform to begin your guitar journey. 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. From heavy rock tones to smooth R&B or jazz, the LA offers something for every player to discover - regardless of your experience, age, or influences.
Product Ref: 0003
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:
