Well the Electric Guitar has come a far way from when it was invented. Compared to the 60's electric today's electric guitar has a better pick-ups, thinner body, cleaner tone, more options, thousands of different styles, finishes shapes, and sizes, a more diverse variety of string gauges and sting elements, and overall a more precise instrument. If The Beatles used a 2012 Les Paul instead of the hunk of wood they were using, they would probably be even more popular than they already are. I hope I helped you understand the components that make today's electric guitar stand out from all the rest. - roxas_riku
