Solid Body Guitar
A solid body guitar is a type of electric guitar that has a solid, non-hollow body. This design helps to reduce feedback and allows for a more sustained sound, making it popular among rock and metal musicians. The body is typically made from dense woods like mahogany or alder, which contribute to the instrument's tone.
Unlike acoustic guitars, solid body guitars rely on electric pickups to convert string vibrations into electrical signals. These signals are then amplified, allowing for a wide range of sounds and effects. Famous models include the Gibson Les Paul and Fender Stratocaster, both of which have become iconic in music history.
