Electric Guitars

An electric guitar is a guitar that produces sound by vibrating strings over a pickup that converts the vibrations into electrical signals. Those signals are fed into an amplifier, which projects the musical performance at a wide range of volumes. Electric guitarists typically produce sound by striking their strings with a pick. Electric guitarists have a lot of options for altering the timbre and tonal character of their instruments. The guitar’s tone and volume knobs, its variety of pickups, stompbox pedals, and amplifier functions can all contribute to a wide range of sounds. The three most popluar electric guitars and the musicians who used them are the Fender Stratocaster (Jimmy Hendrixs, Eric Claton, and Stevie Ray Vaughan), Gibson Les Paul (Les Paul, Slash, and Jimmy Page), and Fender Telecaster (Keith Richards, Keith Urban, and Vince Gill).
