It's difficult to imagine where rock and roll would be today if it weren't for electric guitars. Once labeled a novelty item, one version or another is used across a wide variety of musical genres. The solid body, pictured left, is the original electric model. Since sound doesn't resonate through the wood, the vibrations of the steel strings are converted to electronic signals by a pickup, and fed to an amplifier to be heard.
