THE GUITAR IS A PLUCKED stringed instrument. There are two types of guitar— acoustic and electric. Acoustic guitars have hollow bodies and six or 12 strings. Plucking the strings produces vibrations that are amplified by their hollow bodies. Electric guitars usually have solid bodies and six strings. Pick-ups placed under the strings convert their vibrations into electronic signals that are magnified by an amplifier, and sent to a loudspeaker where they are converted into sounds. Electric bass guitars are very similar in structure to electric guitars, and produce sound in the same way, but have four strings and play bass notes.
