If you're looking for your first electric guitar, there are so many models, amps and other accessories to choose from, it could actually break your brain. To make life that bit easier, you could opt for an all-in-one electric guitar starter pack complete with your new guitar, an amplifier and all the essential bits and pieces you'll need to start playing.
The Perfect Electric Guitar Starter Packs for Beginners
Any beginner guitarist will want to go for a guitar that will give them the sound they want as well as the look they want. There are electric guitars kitted out with humbucker pickups, which have a thick and full amplified sound, and there are guitars with single-coil pickups, which pack more sonic bite and sparkle. There are also guitars that combine the sound of single-coil and humbucker pickups. If you're already taking guitar lessons, then have a chat with your teacher about what will fit with the sound that you want. And while you might not think it, the look of your guitar is just as important, because if you love the look, you'll always want to pick up your guitar and play.
A Complete Guitar Pack with an Amplifier
Unless you plug it into a guitar amplifier, an electric guitar doesn't actually sound very loud at all, so getting a complete pack including an amplifier is a really good idea. These packs will almost always include a jack cable so you can connect the guitar to the amp, and so you don't have to strum and pick strings with your fingers, a few plectrums will definitely come in handy. A gig bag is an essential if you're carrying your guitar to lessons, rehearsals, and gigs, and to keep the strings in perfect pitch, a tuner is essential. Other accessories might include a strap, so you can play standing up, or even a set of headphones so you can practice in silence and without bothering anyone. And just in case, a starter pack that includes a spare set of strings is always a welcome bonus.
Left-Handed Electric Guitar Starter Packs
The choice for left-handed guitarists is a bit more limited, and this also applies to starter packs. If you can't find the right starter pack, then you could put your own together. Have a browse through our range of left-handed guitars, find one you like then scroll down to see what bundles are on offer. If you need some extra bits like a tuner, strap, or cable, we stock plenty of those as well.
Electric Guitar Starter Packs for Children
Since the neck of an electric guitar is narrower, it can often be easier for children to pick up an electric guitar than an acoustic or classical guitar. Since it's so iconic, kids also tend to get more excited about the sound of an electric guitar, giving them more motivation to learn to play. If the standard-sized electric guitars that come with most starter packs is too big for your child, then there are smaller-bodied guitars for children. All of them come in various colours and if you can't find a starter pack including the guitar you want, then have a look at the bundle deals listed further down the page of each model to put together your own pack.
