Virtually all rock and roll bands (of any variety) use two main guitar types: the six-string "standard" Electric Guitar, and the 4-string electric Bass Guitar. They are made by a wide variety of manufacturers, with Gibson and Fender being the two most famous.

In addition, there are numerous variations of both type of Guitars, in terms of adding more strings, different neck lengths, changes in pickup location (and even number of pickups), fret length, and string types. The type of body also can vary widely, in shape, size, and material used to construct them.

Besides the guitar itself, most bands apply a variety of sound-altering mechanisms to adjust the sounds coming from their guitars. This can be as simple as the tremolo arm on the guitar, to the basic "wah-wah" pedal, to sophisticated computer-powered digital signal processing sound boards.
