Key Features
The LA Select Modern Electric Guitar is a must-have addition to any guitar collection. Comprised of an ash body, the guitar offers a balanced sound with a gentle scoop in the low-mids, making it perfect for distortion and down-tuning as it automatically eliminates undesirable low frequency content. Thanks to its slimline 35mm body, the guitar is incredibly lightweight, ensuring your performance is not restricted when on stage.
The combination of a slim lightweight body and the inclusion of a solid roasted maple neck provides much more attack, sustain, and volume, perfect for modern high gain sounds. It also guarantees exceptional tuning stability and a contemporary dynamic sound that compliments the humbucker/single coil configuration. For maximum aesthetic appeal, the LA Select comes complete with a futuristic lava burst quilted maple finish on top and natural satin on the back and sides, alongside all-black hardware, and a classy Iveroid binding all round.

The ideal blend of style and sound. Ash has been a popular tonewood for modern Metal guitarists. It emits a rich, full-bodied sound that compliments a wide range of musical styles whilst offering a gorgeous natural grain finish. The additional sustain it provides also makes it a great choice for lead guitarists.
The LA Select's maple neck and fretboard allows the guitar to effortlessly cut through the densest of arrangements. It offers a tight bass response, fantastic sustain and incredible levels of attack. This is a perfect choice for those who regularly use distortion pedals and strive for a tone that packs a punch. The inclusion of a bolt on neck adds to this, ensuring even more brightness.
Each component on the LA Select has been chosen by our team of specialists to guarantee an unparalleled playing experience.
The LA Select features a hardtail string through bridge. Thanks to this design, the ball-end of each string is fixed through the body to help enhance string energy. This allows the pickups to effectively capture more vibrations, increasing resonance and sustain.
Incredibly versatile, the two humbucker pickups situated at the neck and bridge are ideal for Blues, Rock and Metal styles thanks to the precise midrange focus they offer and their ability to handle high levels of gain and distortion. You'll find the neck pickup when not pushed to extremes is capable of smoother tones, making it the ideal choice for Jazz and Pop performances, where the brightness of a single coil is not favoured. At the middle of the body sits a single coil pickup, in contrast to humbuckers, the dynamism of a single coil makes it great for genres such as Country, Blues, Funk and Soul. They are renowned for their bright, sharp and clear ring and the twang they emit. For even more tonal variety, when in position 2 and 4 the single coil is paired with a humbucker, allowing you to achieve the unique P90 out-of-phase sound.
Thin, narrow and rounded. The LA Select's C-shaped neck is incredibly smooth, allowing you to progress up and down the fretboard with ease. It is ideal for a broad range of musical styles and will suit most players.
Not only does this guitar sound the part, it looks it too. The futuristic lava burst finish ensures it will seamlessly integrate into any aficionados' collection, holding its own against guitars well above its price point. The neck's darker appearance is the result of the sugars within the wood caramelising during the roasting process.
To ensure you're ready to hit the ground running, the LA Select comes complete with a comprehensive accessory pack, consisting of a lightweight gigbag, strap, cable, plectrums and Allen keys.
