Description
If you want to give someone a proper start on electric guitar – not just a “toy” they’ll grow out of in a few months – this Hickies custom bundle has everything they actually need, chosen by people who work with guitars every day.
Most importantly, this is a Hickies custom bundle. Our staff have picked each part because they know it works well together and stands up to real use. If you don’t know much about instruments but want to get your child or relative off to a genuinely good start, this bundle is a straightforward, no-nonsense choice that will see them through those first lessons and well beyond.
The heart of the bundle is the Cort G200SE Electric Guitar in Seafoam Green. It’s a full-size, well-made instrument, but the neck is slim and comfortable so younger hands don’t struggle. The roasted maple neck and quality hardware mean it will stay in tune and feel good to play, lesson after lesson. The pickup layout lets it cover clean tones, rock sounds and everything in between, so they won’t need a new guitar as soon as their taste in music changes.
To go with it, you get the Blackstar ID:Core Stereo 10 V4 Guitar Amp. This is a small, bedroom-friendly amp that still sounds big and clear. It has several different amp sounds built in, plus effects like reverb and delay, so they can experiment without needing extra gear. There’s also a headphone option for quiet practice, and it can plug into a computer if they want to record or use learning apps.
The TGI Gigbag 4330 keeps the guitar safe on the way to lessons, school, or a friend’s house. It’s padded, has strong straps, and includes pockets for cables, music, and other bits and pieces, so everything can travel together without worry.
Staying in tune is essential, especially for beginners, so we’ve included a Rotosound Clip On Tuner HT-200. It clips to the headstock and clearly shows if the note is too high, too low, or just right. It’s simple enough for a complete beginner to use on their own after being shown once.
On top of that, there are 5 picks in the box, so they can plug in and start playing straight away – nothing extra to buy on Christmas Eve.
