Rhythm guitar and Lead Guitar are two elements of music not actual types of Guitars. Rhythm guitar is a foundation which others in a band can "anchor" themselves to and is essentially the glue that holds together a band. Lead guitar is ornamental. It's meant to compliment what else is going on in the music. The two aren't always used in a band at the same time anymore however. The rhythm guitar has been slightly phased-out by modern technology ie the DJ. In recent times, lead guitarist really implies rhythm AND lead guitar work. But the stigma attached to Guitarists is that a rhythm guitarist isn't a skilled as a lead guitarist. The truth is that any guitarist worth his salt can do both. Versatility is the key.
Nothing. An electric guitar is used as a rhythm and ALSO a lead guitar. However, the difference between rhythm and lead guitar is just the guitar riffs that are played. Rhythm essentially keeps the rhythm/basic notes of the song while the lead guitar do a fancy lead riff and/or solo overtop of the rhythm guitar.
