Parts Of The Guitar

This lesson has no video

While acoustic and electric guitars have differences, both are constructed with the same three basic parts - the head, the neck, and the body.   While it’s very easy to see in the video, here are the essential parts of each:

  • Head Stock
    • Tuners
    • Tuning pegs
    • Nut
  • Neck
    • Nut
    • Fretboard
    • Frets
  • Body
    • Bridge
      • Floating (bridge moves with a tremolo bar)
      • Non-floating (bridge is fixed to the guitar)
    • Sound hole (acoustic)
    • Pickups (electric)
    • Pickup selector (electric)
      • Varies from guitar to guitar, but generally bridge, neck or combo position
    • Volume / tone knobs (electric)
    • Input jack (electric)

If you want, post a video and talk about your guitar!

My name is BobbyeLeigh and I’ve found a target through Michael’s video on JT and Chris Stapleton doing Tennessee whiskey add the CMA’s and I was hooked. Hopefully this is my first of many to come… I am a massive audiophile and I have always wanted to be able to actually play while I sing; so, I have all the reasons to dedicate time and effort to guitargate teaching as music is my catharsis, and Michael you speak to my soul, how you talk & look (and kind of lose your mind) about music, I’m all in!

Hey everyone. Just wanted to show my new (to me) nylon string acoustic and talk about some of the parts of it. I plan on trying to upload to the website more often and I promise that I am going to work on the video quality and lighting issues. Thanks!
