Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibrations into an electrical signal, which is then amplified. Unlike acoustic guitars, they rely on amplification for volume and tone shaping, making them highly versatile in genres like rock, blues, jazz, and metal. Electric guitars come in many body styles—solid, semi-hollow, and hollow—and feature different pickup configurations, neck types, and hardware. From smooth clean tones to aggressive distortion, they offer a wide sonic range, making them the backbone of modern guitar music.
Standard typically refers to a classic or widely accepted model or specification within a product range. In guitars and amps, a Standard model often represents the core version that balances quality, features, and price, making it popular among players of all levels. For example, Fender’s Standard Stratocaster is known for its reliable performance and iconic sound, while Gibson’s Standard Les Paul offers classic tone and craftsmanship. This category includes gear that embodies the essential qualities musicians expect from their instruments and equipment.
The top of a guitar refers to the front face of the body, usually the wood panel that has the sound hole on an acoustic or the pickups mounted on an electric. It’s one of the most important parts for tone, especially on acoustics, where the top’s wood type, thickness, and construction greatly affect resonance, volume, and warmth.
Common woods for guitar tops include spruce, cedar, and maple. On electrics, the top can also be a separate piece with special finishes or inlays, adding to the instrument’s aesthetics as well as its sound character.
