Everything You Need to Begin Your Musical Journey

The Starling is perfect for beginning players to learn guitar on, and it is available at a price point that makes it possible for everyone to afford a quality Epiphone instrument. The back and sides are layered mahogany, while the top is layered spruce for durability and good tone. The mahogany neck has a comfortable C-shaped profile, and the Indian laurel fretboard features 20 medium jumbo frets that make it easier to press the strings down with less effort, while the 24.75” scale length results in slightly less string tension and also reduces the distance the player’s fingers have to “stretch” to form chord shapes. The pickguard features a unique and distinctive Starling graphic. All the accessories you need are also included; an Epiphone gig bag, three picks, a strap, and even a clip-on electronic tuner.
A battery is not included. To power your Player Pack tuner, you will need a 3-volt (CR2032) battery.
