Electric guitars are a staple of modern music. Once guitars were strictly acoustic. And as was the case with so many stringed instruments, we began looking for a way to amplify their sound.
It’s believed the first push to amp up guitar sound was back in the big band days when guitar solos couldn’t compete with the high volume of the horn section. Cut back to the 1930s when a jazz artist named Charlie Christian first began using a pickup attached to his acoustic guitar to help boost his volume. This is considered the beginning of electric guitar. The original pickups were notorious for feedback however, which we’ve all cringed from hearing at one time or another. Thankfully since then, great strides have been made with electric guitars and their perfect accompaniment – the amplifier.
