A full size 39 in by 13 in electric guitar and a 15W amplifier arrive together here, which removes the usual problem of buying an instrument and then discovering it makes almost no sound without a separate purchase. The amp measures 12 in by 4.5 in by 12 in, carries a portable handle, and accepts mobile phones, MP3 players, and other playback devices, so a beginner can play along with a backing track instead of practicing in silence. An 8.2 ft cable and a 6.35 mm output jack connect the two. The guitar is fitted with classic SSS pickups, a 5-way switch, one volume control, and two tone controls, the layout that covers the widest range of musical styles from clean rhythm work to lead tone. A run of 22 smooth frets sits along a technical wood fingerboard, the frets themselves in white brass, and an adjustable tremolo bridge sits at the body end. The body is poplar with a maple neck, and a 3-ply pickguard protects the finish where a pick actually lands. Accessories cover everything a starter needs on day one: three picks, a digital tuner, a capo, a strap, extra strings, a truss rod and wrench for neck adjustment, a whammy bar, a user guide, and a gig bag with carrying handles and shoulder straps. The complete 15 lb kit needs no assembly.
