Electric Guitar

An electric guitar is a guitar that uses a pickup to convert the

vibration of its strings—which are typically made of metal, and which
occurs when a guitarist strums, plucks or fingerpicks the strings—into
electrical impulses.

The vibrations of the strings are sensed by a pickup, of which the

most common type is the magnetic pickup, which uses the principle of
direct electromagnetic induction. The signal generated by an electric
guitar is too weak to drive a loudspeaker, so it is plugged into a guitar
amplifier before being sent to a loudspeaker, which makes a sound loud
enough to hear. The output of an electric guitar is an electric signal, and
the signal can easily be altered by electronic circuits to add "color" to
the sound or change the sound.
