Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Maple

Maple is a dense, hard tonewood commonly used in guitar and bass construction for necks, fingerboards, and sometimes bodies or tops. It is known for its strength, stability, and smooth playing feel, making it a popular choice for instruments that need durability and consistent performance.

Tonally, maple contributes a bright, clear sound with strong attack and good note definition. It emphasises high-end clarity and tight low end, which helps notes cut through a mix, and is often paired with warmer woods to create a balanced overall tone.
