| | Electric Guitar Origins |
| | Bud Tutmarc has recorded more than 20 albums of beautiful Hawaiian, easy listening and sacred music on the Hawaiian steel guitar. | | | So, this large pickup was eventually installed INSIDE the guitar with a polepiece sticking up through a slot he cut in the top of the guitar near the bridge, and the electric guitar was on its way. | | | I had always known that the first electric guitars were Hawaiian guitars, but the details of that invention seemed lost in antiquity. |

| | Electric Guitars |
| | Electric guitars are most often made with solid bodies since they depend upon electromagnetic pickups and amplifiers to produce the sound and are not dependent upon the resonance of the hollow body like the acoustic guitar. | | | Six string tuning is B-E-A-D-G-C. The fretboard is longer than that of the ordinary electric guitar (about 90 cm compared to about 65 cm). | | | One example of electric guitar is the Fender Stratocaster. |
