There is a big chance; if you are reading this article that you know nothing about electric guitars. And because sometimes it is better to start learning while playing, you might just need a full starter kit that has everything that you will possible need to just plug your guitar in and start playing. Choosing a guitar, and then looking for a cable, then comparing different amplifiers might get a bit overwhelming for a beginner and to avoid all of this I want to recommend to you a starter pack that will save you a lot of trouble and at the same time a lot of money.

The Guitar

Epiphone is a brand that is among the leaders in the newbie axes market and they are offering a great bundle for the enthusiasts that do not want to waste weeks in researching and just want to enjoy music. The Epiphone Electric Guitar Pack features an original LP Special II LTD guitar, a cable that is ten feet long and an Electar guitar amp with 10 Watts of output.

The Amp and Extras

For the price, the guitar is pretty much 10/10 – so what about the rest of the pack? You get a good-looking Epiphone Slash Snakepit-15, which is an open-backed 15-watt amp with an 8″ speaker. Not bad at all, and more than enough power for practicing and jamming. There’s a whole world of tones and controls to play around with, including master volume, as well as gain and gain volume, and bass, middle and treble controls.

The amp also features a useful channel selector switch (for ease of switching between clean and distorted playing) and a headphone jack for quiet practice sessions. Paired with the guitar, this amp allows you to find some good sounds, ranging from clean and warm, to bluesy crunch, right up to more metal-inclined heavy overdrive.

The pack also comes with a couple of convenient extras: a strap, a cable, Slash signature plectrums, and – the highlight – a Slash signature design padded gig bag for transporting your beautiful axe wherever you may go. Finally – as with most Epiphone packs – this combo grants you some award-winning online guitar lessons from eMedia, which are genuinely a useful extra.

Conclusion

TWhile the price is higher than the majority of other electric guitar combo packs, this is perhaps one of the only packages that would appeal to the experienced guitarist as well as complete beginners. The guitar is the highlight, the amp is a worthy addition if you don’t already have one, and the extras are slightly more upgraded than you’d see in other combo packs. Another winner from Epiphone.
