a guitar capable of converting the vibration of its strings into electrical impulses using a pickup
What is an "electric guitar"?
An electric guitar is a type of guitar that uses electronic pickups to convert the vibration of its strings into an electrical signal. This signal is then amplified and converted into sound through a speaker. Unlike acoustic guitars, which rely on their hollow body to amplify sound, electric guitars have a solid or semi-hollow body and are typically played with an amplifier. They can produce a wide range of sounds and effects through various controls and pedals, making them popular in many music genres, including rock, jazz, blues, and pop. The electric guitar is known for its versatility and ability to create powerful, dynamic tones.
