Electric Guitars



 

Paul Reed Smith (PRS)

The Electric Guitar is the workhorse of rock, blues, jazz and pop music. Electric guitars need to be plugged into an amplifier to be heard adequately. They are usually solid-body guitars but archtop electric guitars with hollow bodies are available which gives them some acoustic resonance. The electric guitar when amplified has a sound that is metallic with a lengthy decay (sustain).

The design of the electric guitar is not determined by the need for a deep resonating body (acoustic chamber) and this had led to the development of contoured and thin bodied electric guitars. The two most popular designs are the Fender Stratocaster and the Gibson Les Paul.

The strings of an electric guitar are thinner than acoustic strings and closer to the neck; therefore less force is needed to press them down. The ease with which you can bend strings, clear access to the twelfth fret and above, the use of a whammy bar and manipulation of pots and switches whilst playing has led to the development of a lead guitar style that is difficult to recreate on acoustics. Fret-tapping is a guitar technique for creating chords and melody lines that would not be possible using the standard technique of left-hand fretting and right-hand strumming. The electric guitar’s sustain, sensitive pick-ups, low action and thin strings make it an ideal instrument for fret-tapping.

The choice of which amplifier to buy is usually one of personal preference. Marshall amps and cabs are renowned for their “over-driven” valve distortion while Fender valve amps are known for their “clarity” and “warmth”. The Marshall rig is synonymous with rock music while Fender amps are popular with blues and country guitarists. There are many other manufacturers besides Marshall and Fender and the buyer is advised to read about the equipment of his favorite guitarists and to test different amps and cabs before purchasing.
