This is the second article identifying electric guitar parts and their uses. The idea behind these articles is to show new musicians what an electric guitar is all about.
Pickups: Some guitars are configured with two pickups. others with three some with just one. Pickups send the sound from the strings to an amplifier, they are actually like a little for each string, if you get close enough to one your voice will be sent to the amplifier.
Strings: Strings are a very important part of your guitar, no matter how good a player you are bad strings will make you sound bad. Made of alloy they vary in size from the thinnest at the top to the thickest at the bottom.
Volume And Tone Knobs: These are used when your guitar is plugged into an amplifier and will adjust the volume and tone.
