Best Answer

through the Guitars pickups. They use various types of Alnico or ceramic to get a certain sound. Alnico is a mixture of three metals. Aluminum , Nickel and Cobalt. It goes from Alnico 1 which gives you a certain sound to Alnico 8. There is only one kind of Ceramic. A good idea of Ceramic is EMG , where as Alnico is say a Gibson PAF pickup.

the pickups are right under the strings , you vibrate the strings with your hands , pick or whatever and the vibrations go into the pickup. Through the electronics and into the amplifier.
