Perfect for beginners
This pack is the perfect pack for a beginning guitarist like myself. I've been looking around for an electric guitar for a while including buying second-hand. I found myself becoming overwhelmed with choice and options and just sort of gave up... until I found this pack. It has everything I needed to get started. The guitar itself is beautiful, well-built, and sounds great. The amp is perfect for getting started though I can see myself outgrowing it within a few months. Delivery was quick and everything was well-packaged. I'm thoroughly impressed. If you're a beginner looking at buying an electric guitar and don't know where to start I would say grab yourself this. You won't be disappointed.

Artist AP1 Electric Guitar w/ Humbucker Pickups & Accessories & Amplifier
This Electric Guitar is used for various styles of music, most notably all the styles of Rock, Blues, and Metal. All of these guitars have a Set Neck for superior sustain and tone, unlike a lot of similarly priced guitars on the market that usually have a bolt-on neck.
Note: the 'Set Neck' design on any guitar type always gives superior SUSTAIN and TONE over a 'Bolt-on Neck' design... (This is why Metalheads the world over play only set neck guitars).

It includes all accessories you need to get started:
- AP1 Electric Guitar

Some of this guitar's Great Features:
It has an Okumen neck with an eco-rosewood fretboard, a 2 way truss rod (which means you can adjust the neck up or down)
The body is made of Okumen, which is lighter than mahogany whilst still providing warmth, and it has a maple tiger stripe veneer for good looks. To top it off we've added the classic-look cream pickguard.
Two Wilkinson humbuckers for a great classic rock and metal tones!
It has a Tune-O-Matic style fixed bridge (common in most LP guitars) & die-cast machine heads that will help you stay in tune longer and make your tuning easier.
We include a range of support materials from how to tune, how to read tab, basic chord shapes and more.

Artist GA10X 10 Watt Guitar Practice Amplifier with MP3 input
This is a great sounding 10 Watt guitar amp, perfect for practising at home or jamming with friends!
Features include selectable channels, clean and distortion with a 3-band EQ. The Clean channel provides a crystal clear sound for country and jazz tones, whilst the distortion channel provides everything from a light smooth break up for blues through to crushing Heavy Metal and Hardcore tones for those palm muted chunky rhythms and searing solos! This is the perfect amp for those just starting out on electric guitar and is a great platform to experiment with achieving different guitar tones, whether that be through pedals or simply your guitar controls, you can't go wrong with the GA10X.
It also has a headphone socket so you can play along without waking the neighbours, and MP3 input.
The Tech Features
Model: GA10X
Power: 10W RMS
Speaker Size: 6 inch
GA10X Front Panel Functions:
Input - This is the 1/4 inch guitar jack input.
Volume - Controls the volume level of both Clean and Overdrive channels.
Drive Select - This is a Channel Switch that selects between Clean Channel, or Overdrive Channel.
Gain - Controls the gain level for the OverDrive channel only. As the amount of gain increases so will the Overdrive/distortion level in your sound. Use moderate levels for Blues and light rock, and maximum gain for Hard Rock and Heavy Metal styles.
Treble - Controls the high frequency of the guitar tone, making your guitar sound brighter when increased.
Middle - Dictates the middle frequency of the amplifier. Turning this up will make your guitar sound fatter, ideal for Blues and Punk. Conversely reducing the amount of middle in your tone will result in a sharper and thinner guitar sound for the classic scooped Heavy Metal tone.
Bass - Controls the amount of low frequency or bottom end in your tone. The more you increase, the more punch you will add. If your sound sounds too muddy then decrease this control to Tighten your sound.
Mini Jack AUX input - 3.5mm input to plug in your favourite MP3 player
Mini Jack Headphone Jack - 3.5 mm input to plug your headphones in for silent practice
Power Switch - On / Off Switch for mains power to the amplifier.
