The sound is caused by the vibration of strings through the magnetic field emanating from a guitar’s pickups. Your guitar’s intonation also contributes to the tone, and don’t forget the amp, which converts the signal from the pickups into an audible sound.

The first answer is that shape really doesn’t affect the sound of an electric guitar since electric amplification is basically an application of Lenz’s law…essentially vibrating strings over magnets create an electro magnetic field (EMF).

The shape of an electric guitar matters because it affects how it sounds and feels, as well as how it looks, of course. The body shape of the guitar affects how resonant the tone is, how easy it is to sit and stand with, and the fret access. The neck shape of a guitar affects how easy it is to play.

No, there is a large difference in the sound of different electric guitars. The following things impact the sound of the guitar. The pickups, wood and body shape and other electrical components. Single-coil pickups sound different than the dual-coil (humbucking) pickups.

Electric guitars are shaped the way they are for comfort and playability, adherence to historically rooted aesthetics, or to follow the whim and fancy of musical and artistic trend. There will always be experimentation, but the allure and desirability of classic styles will never fade.

Any style of guitar can be used for any style of music its really up to you. You also don’t have to settle with just a single guitar. Guitar sounds are like textures, you can experiment in using them in different ways to create whatever style you want.

The Flying-V is a design for a highly energy-efficient long-distance aeroplane. The aircraft’s design integrates the passenger cabin, the cargo hold and the fuel tanks in the wings, creating a spectacular v-shape.

Not all acoustic guitars are shaped the same. If you want to choose the acoustic guitar that is right for you, remember that a guitar’s shape will affect the sound. Design differences between makers can produce some starkly different sonic qualities, even among guitars that have the exact same shape!

000 / OM. Shallower than a dreadnought (see right) at around 105mm (4.1″) and narrower in width, the 000 (also known as an auditorium) brings the body closer to the player. As there’s not as much mass to curve your strumming arm around, it feels more intimate and comfortable for stage use too.

Even though 3/4-sized guitars are recommended for 8-12-year-olds, this doesn’t mean they are not suitable for adults, too. Increasingly, adult players – even experienced ones – have been opting for playing 3/4 size guitars too, due to the convenient size (especially when travelling) and the more punchy sound.
