The History of the Electric Guitar: A Solution to a Problem

#SongbirdsFoundation #electricguitar #musichistory
The all new Songbirds Guitar & Pop Culture Museum opened its doors in September 2021 with all new exhibits and displays, and we are happy to share a video from our exhibit "The History of the Electric Guitar". It highlights some beautiful guitars that are currently on display, such as a 1950 Fender Broadcaster, a 1951 Fender No-caster, a 1954 Fender Strat, 1952 Gibson Les Paul, and more. We hope that you will come visit us here in Chattanooga and experience Songbirds for yourself.

Great quality but I was hoping you would continue on about the jazzmaster and jaguar, as well as fender's precision bass, jazz bass, and stingray

You forgot to mention the first electric guitar. The Slignerland Songester.

What is a pickup?

A magnent

[@robinleebraun7739]

Anything that attaches to a guitar that picks up either an acoustic vibration or a variable disturbance in a magnetic field and creates a current that can be amplified. It can be as simple as a small microphone or a magnet with a long coil of very thin insulated wire wound around it. There are even optical pickups in experimental stages. Look up Michael Faraday.
