It also has real metal frets and three strings. In addition, this one incorporates a very simple piezo pickup so it can be played through an amplifier. It is slightly more complex in woodworking terms and involves a bit of wiring and soldering.Six-String Electric Guitar: This one would be built from a cigar box and a pre-fabbed six-string guitar neck.
