Parts of the Acoustic Guitar:

  • The bridge holds the ends of the strings in place.
  • The guitar body amplifies the sound and sends it out through the sound hole.
  • The pick guard protects the guitar body from getting scratched by a pick.
  • The frets are the metal ridges embedded in the guitar neck. There are anywhere from 19 to 24 frets on a guitar neck.
  • The fretboard is the front of the neck where you place your fingers on the strings.
  • The small dots on the fretboard are fret markers for reference so you know where you are.
  • The nut is the top edge of the guitar neck and guides the strings.
  • The headstock holds the six tuning pegs in place.

===============================================================

Parts of an Electric Guitar:

  • An electric guitar is plugged into an amplifier in order to make the sound louder.
  • The electronic pick-ups “pick up” the vibrations of the strings and convert them into an electronic signal, which is then sent to the output socket.
  • Each pick-up sounds different because of its location on the guitar body.
  • You use the pick-up selector to choose which pick-ups to turn on.
  • The back pick-up sounds twangy and vibrant (good for lead guitar), while the
  • Front pick-up sounds full and rich (good for rhythm guitar).
  • The body holds the pick-ups in place.
  • The volume control knobs control the volume for each pick-up and the tone
  • Control knob controls the brightness of the sound.
  • Some electric guitars have a whammy bar connected to a floating bridge to change the tension in the strings while playing so you can make cool sounds.
  • The neck and headstock on the electric guitar are basically the same as the acoustic guitar, however the tuning pegs on this electric guitar are all on one side.
