Electric Guitars are stringed musical instruments that take a soul to ecstasy with its sweet music.
The strings produce a vibration that are made into a loud music by an amplifier and a speaker that are assembled inside a guitar.
The music produced by the guitar differs according to the construction of them.
The wood or metal used for the body, the shape of the guitar, configuration of electronic components and the number of strings in them give out different kinds of vibrations.

• The number of strings ranges from 7 to 12.
  If you are an amateur player it is suggestible to buy a 7 stringed guitar and once becoming a professional 12 stringed will sound sensible.
  12 Stringed Guitars sound gorgeous with their double layered music.
  
• There are both metal bodied and wooden bodied guitars.
  There are various types of woods used to build the guitar body like Mahogany, Maple, Ash, Alder and rosewood like hardwoods.
  The musical sound differs according to the wood used.
