By the mid-20th century, the era of musical technology development had arrived. It was then that the need for amplifying the volume of guitars emerged. Thus, a model with a solid body and a pickup powered by the mains was created. This is how the first electric guitar was designed. It was created by Leo Fender, and later the idea was picked up by other manufacturers. The design was improved, as was the aesthetics. Primitive circuits were replaced by precision systems that allow instruments to produce a unique timbre for music of any genre.
The main difference lies in the principle of sound formation. In regular models, sound is formed under the influence of acoustic resonance in a hollow body, while electric guitars work differently. In them, sound arises from the interaction of electronics and strings.
In general, the construction of such instruments consists of the following main components:
Each detail in the construction affects the sound of the instrument, even the material of the nut, as different types of wood interact differently with the pickups. Therefore, when planning to buy an electric guitar, it is important to study the specifications in detail and compare models of instruments. At the same time, it is essential to understand what to pay attention to.
Electric guitars are produced in a wide variety and differ in design and playing features. One of the main parameters is the body shape. The design affects the appearance of the instrument and the comfort of playing. By body shape, electric guitars are divided into the following models:
In addition to shape, attention should be paid to the electronics block — pickups. The type of pickups affects the timbre of the instrument. You can order an electric guitar with singles or humbuckers. Singles provide a bright and clean sound, but can hum under heavy overload. The design of humbuckers includes two coils that effectively suppress unwanted noise. Such models sound thick and powerful. You can order an electric guitar with humbuckers for metal and heavy rock.
It is also worth paying attention to the type of wood from which the body is made. The material also affects the sound. For example, mahogany provides a warm and low sound, ash — a bright one, while lime and alder — a balanced and even sound.
The price of the instrument is also one of the important criteria for selection. It is difficult to give a definitive answer to the question of how much an electric guitar costs, as several factors influence the price: body shape, type of electronics, and brand. The manufacturers of electric guitars offer instruments of various classes in different price segments:
