electric guitar
An electric guitar is a stringed musical instrument that uses electrical pickups to convert the vibration of its strings into an electrical signal. This signal is then amplified to produce sound, making it much louder than an acoustic guitar. Electric guitars typically have a solid body and can create a wide range of tones through effects pedals and amplifiers. They are commonly used in various music genres, particularly rock, blues, and jazz, due to their versatility and ability to produce both clean and distorted sounds.
