An '''electric guitar''' is a type of [[guitar]] that uses [[pickup (music)|pickups]] to convert the vibration of its steel-cored strings (sometimes nickel) into an electrical current, which is made louder with an [[instrument amplifier]] and a speaker. The signal that comes from the guitar is sometimes electronically altered with [[guitar effects]] such as [[reverb]] or [[distortion]]. While most electric guitars have six strings, seven-string instruments are used by some [[jazz guitarist]]s and metal guitarists (especially in [[nu metal]]),How to Play Metal Guitar: The Basics & Beyond. By Richard Johnston. Published by Backbeat Books, 2004. ISBN 0879307757, 9780879307752. Page 17. "A Crash Course in 7-String Guitar" by Andy Ellis. "With the likes of Orgy, Korn, and Limp Bizkit relying on the 7-string for their rumbling riffs, deep-toned guitar has finally become a mainstream instrument." and 12-string electric guitars (with six pairs of strings, four of which are tuned in octaves) are used in genres such as [[jangle pop]] and rock.

The electric guitar was first used by [[jazz guitar]]ists, who used amplified hollow-bodied instruments to get a louder sound in [[Swing (music)|Swing]]-era [[big band]]s. The earliest electric guitars were [[Hollow body|hollow bodied]] [[Steel-string guitar|acoustic]] instruments with [[Tungsten (music)|tungsten]] steel pickups made by the "[[Rickenbacker]]" company in 1931. While one of the first solid-body guitars was invented by [[Les Paul]], the first commercially successful solid-body electric guitar was the [[Fender Esquire]] (1950). The electric guitar was a key instrument in the development of many musical styles that emerged since the late 1940s, such as [[Chicago blues]], early [[rock and roll]] and [[rockabilly]], and 1960s [[blues rock]]. It is also used in a range of other genres, including [[country music]], [[Ambient music|Ambient]] (or [[New Age music|New Age]]), and in some [[contemporary classical music]].

==History==
The need for an amplified guitar became apparent during the [[big band]] era, as jazz orchestras of the 1930s and 1940s increased in size, with larger brass sections. Initially, [[jazz guitar|electric guitars used in jazz]] consisted primarily of hollow [[archtop]] acoustic guitar bodies to which electromagnetic transducers had been attached.

Electric guitars were originally designed by an assortment of luthiers, guitar makers, electronics enthusiasts, and instrument manufacturers. Guitar innovator [[Les Paul]] experimented with microphones attached to guitars.{{cite web

This type of guitar was manufactured beginning in 1932 by Electro String Instrument Corporation in [[Los Santos]] under the direction of Adolph Rickenbacher and [[George Beauchamp]]. Their first design was built by Harry Watson, a craftsman who worked for the Electro String Company. This new guitar which the company called "[[Rickenbacker]]" would be the first of its kind.www.rickenbacker.com

The earliest documented performance with an electrically amplified guitar was in 1932, by guitarist and bandleader [[Gage Brewer]]. The Wichita, Kansas-based musician had obtained two guitars, an Electric Hawaiian A-25 (Fry-pan, lap-steel) and a standard Electric Spanish from his friend [[George Beauchamp]] of Los Angeles, California.
