Beginner's Choice: Electric Guitar


 

The Pacifica 112V Electric Guitar

Ideal for Beginners

Want to play Rock, Jazz, Blues or Metal? Chances are, it's an electric guitar you're looking for.

The Pacifica 112V doesn't just look the part - we've taken care to ensure it gives you exceptional performance as well. Its solid-wood body and neck are sculpted for comfort, whilst the pickups (two single-coil plus a humbucker) give you instant access to a wide range of classic tones for you to explore during and between lessons.

So good is the Pacifica 112, we're regularly told by veteran guitarists that whilst they may have bought many different guitars over the years, they still hold on to - and still enjoy playing - their Pacifica 112.

Why it's great for beginners:

  • The Pacifica features class-leading craftsmanship - so you can concentrate on playing rather than fighting against inconsistant intonation or poor fretwork
  • It includes a tremolo arm ('whammy bar') for vibrato and pitch control
  • Its classic lines look great at home and on stage

Good to know...

  • If you're left-handed and new to guitar-playing, there's rarely any need to buy a left-hand electric guitar (which tend to be higher in price and offer fewer colour/finish choices) over the standard model. As both hands are equally active with neither one dominant when playing, the learning curve isn't likely to be any different for either a right or left handed beginner.

Best ways to learn...

  • Find a local guitar teacher happy to teach you the sort of music you want to play
  • If you're at school or college, see if your music department offers lessons
  • Explore tutorial videos on YouTube or online tuition courses
