What shape is an electric guitar?

Answer 1

thiness and thickness it comes down to and comfort based on what kind of hands you got. They're all letters to make it easy, the neck shape will look like the letter if you took the guitar apart.

C shape is a common fender neck , anyone can play them from beginners to pros , a very small or thin radius neck

D shape is your average guitar neck, its the most common guitar neck

U shape is very thin and plays very similar to a D shape, these are used by guitar shredders its a happy medium between C and D, you get the grip of the D but the thinness of a C.

V shaped necks are interesting,and not only on V Guitars its like a D but they sand the edges creating a V shape, they are really easy to play the top frets like 1-5 on the low E. Great for beginners as well as pros, very fast like U's and if you can try one you'll love it after you get used to it.

Answer 3

well its slightly like a figure eight shape except without the holes

however electric guitars sometimes are s slight variation of that :)

Answer 4

For good access to high frets(cutaways), to be comfortable(contours and stuff), and to look awesome!

Answer 5

i guess to amplify the sound.

Cutaways add to the player's comfort. Others, like the Flying V or Explorer are more for novelty.
