This is the professional-sized electric guitar set that comes with everything a budding musician needs to get started with confidence. The set includes a solid-body guitar designed with the beginner in mind: low string height and light-gauge strings that make forming chords easy to master, two single-core pickups and a humbucking pickup that generate a variety of tones to suit the widest of musical tastes, and a 30-watt practice amplifier that produces a clean or overdriven sound. The amplifier can connect to an MP3 player to allow guitarists to strum, pick, and grin along with their preferred melodies; also includes a headphones jack for private practice. A poster displays the correct finger positions for chords while an instructional booklet, DVD, and CD, teach the reading of guitar tablature—a technique thought by many to be easier for learning guitar than traditional sheet music—as well as picking techniques. Includes digital tuner, picks, guitar strap, amplifier cable, and nylon carrying case. 41” L x 18” W x 5 1/2” D. (20 lbs.)
