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.
The fingerboard—also known as the fretboard—is the flat, narrow surface on the front of a guitar’s neck where your fingers press the strings to create notes and chords. It’s typically made from hardwoods like rosewood, maple, or ebony, each offering a different feel and tonal character. The fingerboard plays a major role in a guitar’s playability, influencing everything from comfort and speed to tone and response. Features like inlays, fret size, and radius can vary, making the fingerboard a personal preference for many players—it’s where the music truly comes to life under your fingers.
Maple is a popular tonewood used in the construction of guitar necks, fretboards, and bodies. Known for its bright, clear sound with strong attack and sustain, maple adds definition and snap to your tone. It’s also prized for its durability and smooth playing feel. Visually, maple often features a light, attractive grain and can be finished in various ways to highlight its natural beauty. Many iconic guitars use maple components to achieve that classic, vibrant sound.
