For
Electric Guitar
An electric guitar is a fretted string instrument that uses a pickup to convert the vibration of its strings which are typically made of steel, and which occurs when a guitarist strums, plucks or fingerpicks the strings into electrical signals. The vibrations of the strings are sensed by a pickup, of which the most common type is the magnetic pickup, which uses the principle of direct electromagnetic induction. Electric guitars were originally designed by guitar makers and instrument manufacturers.
