Electric guitars are known as one of the most significant inventions in the 20th century. This statement is indeed true by judging on the popular music view. This type of guitar is somewhat related to its original guitar which is called the acoustic guitars. The idea came in when one needs to cater a large crowd of audiences. In order to make clear the performers' music to the crowd, they will need instruments which are loud and clear. Acoustic guitar is not able to cater such needs to produce loud and high quality sound. And therefore, this type of guitar exists.
Rock bands realized the essential need to get the tone and character of their music produced defined. This requirement is able to be fulfilled by the electric guitars. This guitar, as can be seen by the name suggested makes use of the electricity so that it can transmit the sound produced. It has six strings usually, and all are tune by using a tuning peg. Similar to acoustic guitar, it has several frets but having a longer neck. It is made of solid wood and the sounds are to be produced by magnetic pickups. There are several knobs located at the end of the neck and they are the one that control these pickups. In order to produce sounds, this guitar will sense the strings' vibrations electronically. They are later then sent as a signal where the amplifier and speaker are connected to the guitar.
Under the strings on the guitar's body, one can find a magnetic pickup mounted on it. This particular pickup is consist of a bar magnet which is wrapped with 7000 turns of wires which are very fine. This guitar uses a pure physics concept. The coils around the magnet have the ability to turn electrical energy into another form called motion and vice versa.
