About the electric guitar

Invented in the 1930s an electric guitar uses a pickup to convert the string vibrations into an electrical signal which can then be amplified. It was invented after the presence of the guitar became more popular in bands as it needed to be heard over the rest of the players.

Continuing to grow in popularity, the electric guitar became the most important instrument in the pop music of the 1950s and 60s and it has now evolved into an instrument that is capable of many sounds and styles.

There are many shapes and sizes to consider when choosing an electric guitar, pickup combinations, strings, tone controls and more. To help you choose the right guitar, we have included detailed specifications with each product listing so you’ll know whether it has a single coil or humbucker pickups, 3 or 5 way tone control etc. If you would like to know any more, do not hesitate to get in touch.
