On an electric guitar, but the sound is amplified by an amplifier single external, and therefore the body electric guitar is usually strong because there is no air or vibration of the cavity is necessary. In fact, without an amplifier outside the sound of an electric guitar itself is pretty pathetic. The body electric guitar is usually made of wood, although the custody of choice often made of plastic.
Before the 1970s guitars were often made from a piece of hardwood, but in the last thirty or forty years, world of values hardwood was so exhausted to find a room big enough and specific to a body of the guitar is not only difficult, but very expensive. Therefore, today most electric guitar bodies are at least two pieces of hardwood, with a seam that joins running through the center of body. Hardwoods often used for the construction of an electric guitar body are maple, ash, poplar, linden and mahogany, which are all solids, The company is not likely to deform or bend in response to moisture being, or the constant pressure of steel strings. When you look at a guitar, not always obvious what type of wood used, and because normal deciduous, by the very nature of wood that are less rigid.
To create a striking appearance and visual appeal, designers and electric guitar manufacturers often apply a very thin piece of wood more attractive to outside the body to create an attractive wood finish, while maintaining the body wood.

Today there are electric guitars in courses that do not use wood construction at all and are instead using alternative modern, often synthetic. These alternatives to wood are composed of carbon and even plastic such as polycarbonate. In some cases, electric guitars were made with aluminum alloy, which, though very strong, it is also very light. Electric guitars than most other types of guitar, usually decorated and designed for both looks and sound quality, and if the body of an electric guitar is often lacquered and polished to a high shine, or the effect of wood, or simply to make a community more dynamic appearance.
