Is an electric guitar a type of chordophone?

Answer 1

A Chordophone is 'any musical instrument that makes sound by way of a vibrating string or strings stretched between two points' so the Violin would be a good example. Other examples include the Guitar, Lyre and Harp although the term can also be stretched to include instruments that some may hesitate to call stringed instruments, such as the Musical Bow and the Piano.
