![]() This charge is carried through your guitar’s internal circuit to the output jack. When your strings vibrate above the magnetic pickups on the body of your guitar, they produce an electric charge. Single-coil (2nd and 3rd from the bridge) and humbucker (1st from the bridge) pickups both produce a magnetic field, creating an electric signal that can be sent to your amp or similar device. Instead, they rely on electromagnetic induction to convert acoustic sounds into electric signals. Because they don’t have that round sound hole, simply strumming or plucking the strings won’t create the same vibration. ![]() The air contained within the body causes the sound to reverberate out the cavity, allowing everyone around you to hear what you’re playing.Įlectric guitars are different. When you strum a chord or pluck a string, the vibration from the bridge resonates across the soundboard (the top of the guitar) and into the body. Acoustic guitars don’t need to be amplified thanks to their hollow bodies and large, round sound holes (or cavities).
