How are electric guitars different?

Electric guitars rely on a pickup or multiple pickups mounted on the body to generate a sound that can be amplified by a guitar amp and speakers. Pickups function as a magnetic field, and the vibration created from strumming or plucking the metal strings generates a current. This current is transmitted through the guitar’s preamp circuit, and by using a guitar cable to connect the guitar to an amp, creates an amplifiable signal.
