Gadgets: One guitar to play them all When deciding which electric guitar to buy, people normally have to choose between a single coil pickup, which produces a dry and harder sound or a humbucker pickup, which has a thicker, heavier sound. But now, there is one guitar that can produce both types of sound, and much, much more... It can be hard to make the right choice of electric guitar because there are just about as many models of electric guitars out there as there are musical genres. But there is now a new kind of all-in-one electric guitar that uses electronic technology to reproduce the sounds of all kinds of guitars, just like a synthesizer. Pros and beginners alike are sure to get hooked on this one.
