The development of the electric guitar began with the development of other technology and the experimentation of scientists and experts. The first electric guitars were created at the beginning of the 20th century, then they were perfected and upgraded. With a guitar, a sound is created when you strum a string. In the case of an electric guitar, small magnets transfer the vibration that occurs when we strum the string, or convert the vibration of the string into an electric vibration - this is how the sound we know as the sound of an electric guitar is created. Since the body of the guitar does not play as big a role in the creation of sound as in classical and acoustic guitars, where it serves as a resonant body, the body of an electric guitar is full, usually wooden with small accessories that take care of the conversion of vibrations or enable additional functions of the guitar. An electric guitar also has metal strings.
