electric guitars <p>Electroacoustic stringed instruments more or less in the form of guitars, occurring in two types. One has a hollow body which functions somewhat like a resonator; the other has a solid body serving solely as a mounting block for the bridge and electronic apparatus, and to bear the strings. In both types the sound is electronically amplified and its tone modified by electronic controls.</p> <p>Source: Art &amp; Architecture Thesaurus</p> <p>http://vocab.getty.edu/page/aat/300042031</p>
