Electric Guitars FAQs

How do electric guitars work?

Electric guitars are a type of guitar that uses electrical amplification to make the sound produced by the strings audible. This is done through pickups, which are magnetised coils that detect and amplify vibrations from the strings. The signal is then sent to an amplifier where it can be adjusted in volume, tone, and other ways to create different tones and sounds.

What's the best electric guitar for a beginner

The best electric guitar for a beginner really depends on your style and the type of music that you want to play. If you’re looking for an affordable option, then an entry-level electric guitar would be a good choice. Some good examples are Squier Bullet Stratocaster, Yamaha Pacifica Series, or Fender Player Stratocaster

What are electric guitars made of?

Electric guitars are usually made from several materials, including wood, metal, plastic, and foam. The body of the guitar is typically made from solid woods like alder or mahogany for an acoustic-electric guitar, or lightweight basswood or plywood for an electric-only model.

What is the difference between acoustic and electric guitars?

You’d be able to tell the difference straight away from looking or listening! The main difference between acoustic and electric guitars is the type of sound that each produces. Acoustic guitars create a natural, warm sound from the vibrations of its strings. Electric guitars produce a louder, sharper sound by utilising electrical amplification to amplify the signal from the strings. This allows for more versatile sounds with different effects like distortion or reverb.

What types of electric guitars are there

The most common types of electric guitars are solid body, semi-hollow body, and hollow body. Solid body guitars, such as the Fender Stratocaster and Gibson Les Paul, are the most popular choice for rock and metal genres. Semi-hollow body guitars like the Epiphone ES-335 offer a warmer sound that’s perfect for jazz and blues. Finally, hollow body guitars like the Gretsch G6136T-59 Vintage Select Edition generate a bright, full sound that’s ideal for funk 

How many strings does an electric guitar have?

Most electric guitars have six strings. But no matter your playing style or genre of choice, an electric guitar is a great way to create the music that you want to play. From classic styles to modern designs, electric guitars have plenty of options for any musician. With the right accessories and effects you can create practically any sound imaginable!
