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.
Here at GPAS we have everything guitar from music to guitars amps pedals and stuff. The guitar is a versatile stringed instrument played across countless genres, from rock and blues to classical and jazz.
Typically featuring six strings, it produces sound by vibrating strings stretched over a wooden body or solid frame, amplified acoustically or electronically.
We have Guitars in all types, including acoustic, electric, bass guitars and electro-acoustic, each offering different tonal characteristics and playing styles. For many, the guitar is both a tool of expression and a lifelong obsession—lending itself equally to raw power, subtle nuance, and everything in between.
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.
Tremolo is a guitar effect that modulates the volume of the guitar signal at a regular rate, creating a pulsating or “shaking” effect. This modulation can vary in intensity and speed, allowing guitarists to achieve a wide range of tremolo sounds, from subtle rhythmic pulsations to more pronounced, choppy effects.
Tremolo pedals typically offer controls for adjusting parameters such as rate (the speed of the tremolo modulation), depth (the intensity of the effect), and waveform shape (such as sine, square, or triangle wave). By adjusting these controls, guitarists can customize the tremolo effect to suit their musical style and preferences.
Tremolo is commonly used in various music genres, including rock, surf, country, and indie, to add texture, movement, and dynamics to guitar tones. It can be used to create rhythmic patterns, add emphasis to specific parts of a song, or create a sense of tension and release.
Popular tremolo pedal models include the Boss TR-2 Tremolo, Strymon Flint Tremolo & Reverb, and Electro-Harmonix Super Pulsar.
