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.

Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.

Solid Body Electric Guitars

Solid body electric guitars are built from a solid piece or pieces of wood, giving them excellent sustain, stability, and resistance to feedback at higher volumes. This construction makes them well suited to amplified playing across a wide range of styles, from clean and articulate tones to heavy, high-gain sounds. Their design allows pickups and hardware to play a major role in shaping tone, while the solid body provides a consistent, reliable feel. Solid body electric guitars are valued for their durability, versatility, and ability to perform confidently on stage and in the studio.

Aged Black Satin with Floyd Rose

Floyd Rose

A Floyd Rose is a double-locking tremolo system designed to allow extreme pitch modulation while keeping the guitar in tune. By locking the strings at both the nut and the bridge, it prevents string slippage, making it possible to perform deep dive-bombs, pull-ups, and vibrato effects without the tuning instability associated with traditional tremolo systems.

Floyd Rose systems are most commonly found on rock and metal guitars, where aggressive tremolo use and precise tuning stability are essential. They offer a wide expressive range but require more setup and maintenance than fixed bridges, including string balancing and fine tuning at the bridge, making them best suited to players who actively use the tremolo rather than occasional vibrato.
