A solid-body electric guitar is a type of electric guitar with a solid, non-resonating body made from a single piece or several pieces of wood. Unlike hollow or semi-hollow body guitars, solid-body guitars lack a sound chamber and rely entirely on pickups and amplifiers to produce sound. This design minimizes feedback and allows for greater sustain and tonal clarity, making them ideal for high-volume or heavily distorted playing.
Key Features:
- Construction: Solid wood body (commonly alder, mahogany, or maple).
- Pickups: Typically equipped with single-coil, humbucker, or a combination of pickups to capture string vibrations and convert them to an electrical signal.
- Versatility: Suitable for various genres like rock, metal, blues, and pop.
- Durability: Robust and less prone to feedback compared to hollow or semi-hollow designs.
