Best Answer

A torque in the neck of a guitar is the warping of the neck and fingerboard wood in either one direction or the other on the horizontal plane (on the vertical plane it is called bowing). This can be caused by several factors including improper storage in humid (or extremely dry) climates, improperly loosened strings, etc. It does not necessarily render the guitar unplayable or worthless, as it depends on the degree of damage. Some players develop a fondness for torqued necks as they get used to playing around the inconvenience and have the instrument set up so the torque does not create buzzing on the frets.

What is a good electric guitar for players used to acoustic?

You can use any electric guitar just like an acoustic, but the main differences are the action (string distance from the neck) and possibly the width of the neck. Electric guitars may have narrower necks and the action height is usually closer to the neck. Action can be adjusted in electric guitars. As far as I know, all electric guitars have steel strings with varying thicknesses for flexibility. Some acoustic guitars have nylon for the same purpose.
