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.
Rosewood is a popular hardwood often used for guitar fretboards and sometimes backs and sides of acoustic guitars. It is prized for its smooth feel, rich dark colour, and warm, resonant tone that adds depth and complexity to your playing. Rosewood fretboards offer a slightly softer attack and enhanced sustain compared to maple, making them a favourite among many guitarists. Its natural oils also help keep the fretboard smooth and comfortable, contributing to an enjoyable playing experience.
A white guitar is a timeless classic—clean, elegant, and effortlessly cool. Its simplicity gives it a kind of quiet confidence, standing out on stage without being over the top. Whether it’s a glossy arctic white, creamy vintage tone, or a pearlescent finish, white suits almost any genre and style. It also pairs beautifully with contrasting hardware, like black pickups or gold accents, making it a favourite among players who want something versatile yet striking.
