∙ 12y agothere are too many woods used to name here, but Mahogony, ash and alder are some of the most common woods used for electric guitar bodies. mahogony is used on most Gibson and epiphone Guitars. ash and alder are most common on fender guitars. other woods are also used on certain guitars to get a different tone. also different top woods are sometimes used for looks and tone

What is the difference between an acoustic guitar and an electric guitar?
There are many differences:An electric guitar can be plugged into an amp, while an acoustic guitar can't.An acoustic guitar has a completely different sound. It produces it sound through natural sound amplification while an electric guitar uses electronic pick-ups as well as an electronic amplifier to produce its sound.Acoustic guitars are always hollow, while the majority of electric guitars are solid.An acoustic guitar is much more portable because it is lighter and doesn't need a heavy amp to produce sound.Acoustic guitars are generally larger in size. They require a larger body to produce their amplified sound. The sound the acoustic guitar produces is much more dependent on the body size, types of wood used and shape of the body than the electric guitar is.Electric guitars are generally designed with slimmer necks/bodies and have easier access to higher frets.Also, if you want an acoustic sound while also being able to make it louder, you can attach a pick-up to it to make an electric-acoustic guitar or you can just buy an electric-acoustic guitar from the start.

Why are guitar's made of wood?
Guitars (acoustic and electric) are made of wood because of the resonance that wood produces when a string is played. Sound travels differently through different materials, and sound can be altered after traveling through different materials. Certain woods are known to produce better sounds than others, which is why guitars are made of certain kinds of wood - spruce, maple, etc.
