Electric guitar is the product of the development of science and technology. Its body is solid wood, not an empty speaker. It uses steel wire strings and is equipped with a pickup. When the guitar string vibrates, the magnetic induction line of the pickup is cut off, so that the wires in the body generate currents with different frequencies. These currents are restored through electronic speakers and become the sound of electric guitars. Electric guitar is mainly used in modern pop music and rock music.
