electric guitar
An electric guitar is a type of guitar that uses the principle of direct electromagnetic induction to convert vibrations of its metal strings into electrical signals. These signals are further amplified by a speaker, producing the characteristic sound of the instrument. Unlike the acoustic guitar, the body of the electric guitar does not significantly enhance its sound. Instead, it is primarily designed to decrease feedback. The various designs and forms of electric guitars, from solid to hollow bodies, have greatly influenced the evolution of rock and roll and various genres of music.

Electric guitar
An electric guitar is a guitar that uses a pickup to convert the vibration of its strings into electrical impulses. The most common guitar pickup uses the principle of direct electromagnetic induction. The signal generated by an electric guitar is too weak to drive a loudspeaker, so it is amplified before sending it to a loudspeaker. Since the output of an electric guitar is an electric signal, the signal may easily be altered using electronic circuits to add "color" to the sound. Often the signal is modified using effects such as reverb and distortion. Invented in 1931, the electric guitar became a necessity as jazz musicians sought to amplify their sound in the big band format. During the 1950s and 1960s, the electric guitar became the most important instrument in pop music. It has evolved into a stringed musical instrument that is capable of a multitude of sounds and styles. It served as a major component in the development of rock and roll and many other genres of music.
