An acoustic guitar is made of wood, and consists of 6 or 12 tuners, a neck, a body and a hole out of which sound echoes from the strings. Strings can be tightened or loosened to produce sharp or flat sounds.
An electric guitar is more commonly plugged into an amplifier, producing a louder, crunchier sound. It has no hole but uses a metal bridge to send the vibrations to the amplifier.
