Guitar

An ancient instrument with six strings, the guitar comes in both acoustic and electric forms which are both fairly different in their construction, but not their playing. A guitar is a long-necked instrument, usually with frets along the neck and six strings, though fretless varieties are available, as are guitars with 8, 12 or more strings.

An acoustic guitar features a hollow body, usually made from synthwood or ideally real wood, around which the sound of the metal strings being strummed or picked resonates, creating a warm, rounded tone.

An electric guitar, or e-guitar features a solid body, usually made from lacquered synthwood or resin, with either electronic 'pickups', inbuilt nanite amplification technology or various other types of electronic systems that artificially resonate the sound. Electric guitar can be channelled through various effects systems (including mech whine, quakedrive, wail and many more, often outlandishly named by their developers) to sound pretty much any way the guitarist wishes.

Most modern guitars have a self-tuning mechanism, produced by SmartCore, which sits at the top of the guitar, at the end of the frets, keeping the instrument perfectly on key with whatever is being played.
