∙ 11y agoAn Electric Guitar has between one and three pick-ups installed in the body of the instrument directly below the strings. The pick-up takes the vibration of each string and send it through the electronics of a guitar to an amplifier. Pick-ups allow an electric guitar player to adjust the tone and volume level of the instrument, as well as add effects, such as delay or distortion.
