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.

Signature models are instruments or pieces of equipment developed in collaboration with a specific artist, built around their personal preferences, playing style, and sound. They are usually based on a proven design but include customised specifications such as pickups, electronics, hardware, finishes, or neck profiles chosen by the artist.
These models give players access to tones and features shaped by a particular musician while remaining practical for everyday use. Some signature instruments involve subtle refinements, while others are highly distinctive, appealing both to fans of the artist and to players who value the specific characteristics built into the design.
