The diagram below provides a guide o the location of the electric guitar’s major components,some of which have already been mentioned in this lesson. It is not necessary to memorise them all at this stage, although many have common sense names which you will quickly pick up as you play the guitar more.
The Body
The body of the instrument is where the string are strummed, plucked or picked. It is also the part of the instrument which rests on your leg if you are playing the guitar seated. As well as being the most visually distinctive part of each model of electric guitar, the body contains the electric circuits and components which convert string vibrations into electrical signals.
