No, the first electric guitar was a plank of wood fitted with strings and a pickup. It was called the log and is located in an electric guitar history museum I think. No acoustic guitar modification happened there. Rob Scallon has a cool video on it.

[@mazeradeville2911]

​@@smartaleckduck4135The Log was Les Paul's first electric guitar design. Les Paul didn't invent the electric guitar. Even Gibson's own ES-150 predates The Log.

Hey dude, welcome to the world of people who own too much money. We poor play our strings, until they sound dull. These multi millionair boys change strings every week. They only play brand new strings. And they have no idea we simply remove a set of strings carefully. They always cut and pay these 15 dollars for a new set of strings. Sad, but true.

those string set deserved a second chance, please, stop making residue when not necessary. With a good degreaser they would sounded good. I don't dig the so called Luthiers or guitar techs always clipping the strings out instead of trying to recicle them.

​@@andomi PREACH! this is all I've seen on YT... also I always thought you should remove one at a time while replacing the one just removed for neck tension reasons or some shit.... either way, you aren't ruining strings. and while acouguitar strings are relatively cheap, still they can be handy to have around. I'm not great at re-stringing and saving the old strings came in handy while I snapped one while re-stringing

The pickup doesn’t “translate vibrations into sound” it creates an electric current from the vibrations, which is carried by wires to the amp. The amp “translates” electrical signals into sound.

Well, it creates a Sound Signal. It's an important step in the sound making process.

@@B_H_J I've considered that being a possibility. But seem like it's highly unlikely to happen if the battery is inside the case and wire correctly.

Well when it dies you either have to loosen strings and retune (if that even works) or just change and retune strings completely. Not ideal for live or creative situations
