What would music be like without electric guitars?

Rock, blues, country, and most other contemporary musical styles simply couldn’t exist without this instrument (which, historically speaking, didn't even come into existence until relatively recently). It's really no surprise then that today there are countless models and brands available on the market.

The buyer is spoilt for choice with the quality, price range and design of the instruments available. This online guide aims to contrast the various basic models and their typical sounds and also by characterizing the areas in which each instrument is typically used.

This leads us to the main question: What type of guitar do I need?
