Most Guitars have six strings with the lowest tuned to the second E below middle C and the highest open string tuned to the E two octaves above that, the one just above middle C. That lowest string is often tuned down a whole step to a D and sometimes two steps to a C.
The number of frets on a guitar can vary from 19 for most classicals to 24 for some electrics (or as many as 36, depending greatly on the manufacturer), so for fretted notes that's the second B above middle C to the third E above middle C. You can get higher notes still with harmonics, in which you just touch the string at an overtone point corresponding to certain divisions of string length (open or fretted) and pick or pluck it without fretting it.

Can you plug a microphone into an electric guitar tuner to tune an acoustic guitar?
It should work but using pitch pipes is easier
What causes the pitch on an electric guitar?
it is due to the tightness of the strings , they are tightened to a certain pitch as the faster the string moves the tighter it has been tuned.
What does the loudness and the pitch of a guitar depend on?
Loudness for an acoustic guitar depends on how hard you pluck the string. Loudness for an electric guitar depends on how loud the speaker setting is. Pitch depends on which string you pluck, and which fret, if any, you are fingering. The tighter the string, the higher the pitch, in general. The shorter the section that is allowed to vibrate, the higher the pitch of that string.
What type of instrument is an electric guitar?

What is the difference between an electric guitar and a air guitar?
The difference between an electric guitar and an air guitar is a electric guitar is an actual guitar and an air guitar is imaginary. An air guitar is when people pretend to play a guitar with hand movements. An electric guitar converts vibrations of its steelcorded strings into electric current. These currents then go to a amplifier to make them louder.

What is a good price for an electric guitar AND amplifier?

What pitch does a guitar make?
The pitch a guitar makes is totally dependent on how it is tuned and where it is played. But in standard tuning the lowest pitch of a guitar (Low E) as around 82Hz and the highest pitch (4 octaves above middle C) is 1050Hz. Cosidering the Human hearing range is 20Hz-20,000Hz, the guitar makes relatively low pitch sounds.
What range of decibels can be made by an electric guitar?
That would depend on the decibel range output of the amplifier used by it. A very well designed electric guitar itself without an amplifier is barely audible. A small 30W amp will maximize at around 90dB.
