When the steel chords on these guitars are plucked, the pickups change the vibration into electric currents, which are then amplified to produce desired sounds and tones. These instruments are favorite in many styles of music like jazz, country music, blues, rock & roll etc. This musical instrument was first played by Kansas, a guitarist from Wichita in 1932.
The first ones that were all solid bodied, were invented in 1942 by Lespaul but later in 1950, Leo Fender designed one with a singular magnetic pick up, called the esquire and became a success in the commercial world. Their compose is such that, when the chords are plucked, a small electric current, which is the main working principle in the magnetic pick ups, makes clear sound eliminating unwanted noises. The coils are wrapped with very fine wire and are under the ferromagnetic string.
ELECTRIC
Unlike acoustic ones, the bodies of the electric guitars are made of hardwood with a lacquer coating having six steel strings. They are very solid and do not have any holes that cause vibration. The audible sound is produced by pick-ups that change the vibrations into an electrical signal with the aid of an amplifier.
Due to the dissimilarity in aggregate and shape, these instruments have necks that vary, such as C-necks and V-necks and this helps to define the sound that is produced. Hollow bodied guitars are other types of these instruments and have pick ups mounted on them. Though they work the same, they are distinct in that the pick ups of the hollow bodies change the vibration into currents that are then amplified to produce sound.
