Electric Guitars Electric guitars are used for playing a vast range of music. Electric guitars work by converting the vibration of the strings into electric signals before they are sent into an amplifier. They are available from a large number of different brands, including Epiphone, Fender, Gibson, and Ibanez. What electric guitar body types are there?

Electric guitars consist of many different body types, both standard and custom, the most common of which are hollow, semi-hollow, and solid. They differ in several ways: • Solid: This classic style of instrument uses electric pickups and an amplifier to create sound. The solid body allows the amplified sound to reproduce the string vibrations. • Semi-hollow: A semi-hollow body in an electric guitar makes use of electronic pickups that are mounted on the body. Because the body is semi-hollow, the body itself vibrates. This means that the pickups convert both the string and body vibrations into an electrical signal. The sound hole can be blocked off to prevent feedback.
