Electric Guitar

The electric guitar is a guitar that uses electromagnetic or piezoelectric pickups to convert string vibrations into an electrical signal, which is then amplified through a speaker, allowing for sustain, distortion, and effects unavailable to acoustic instruments. Developed in the 1930s and refined by manufacturers like Gibson and Fender, it became the defining instrument of rock and roll, blues, jazz, and countless other genres. Its solid or semi-hollow body and versatility with effects pedals make it central to modern popular music.
