Lets start with the anatomy of an electric guitar:                                                                       
1.Head:Its the place where the tuning keys are locates.
2.Tuning keys:Is the keys that we tune our guitar.
3.Nut:Is a bone or plastic that the strings are put on so they can be in place (affects the tuning a lot).    4.Neck:Is the part where the fretboard is located.
5.Frets:Are the steel pieces that seperate the notes on the fretboard/fingerboard.
6.Fingerboard/Fretboard:Is where we put our  finger in order to play something.
7.Soundhole:Is where the sound come from in acoustic/classicl guitars.
8.Body:Is the piece where the bridge the strings the knobs are at.
9.Pickguard:Is a piece of plastic located under the pickups or the sound hole.
10.Pickup selector switch;Its a switch that you can select which pickup you want active.
11.Tone/Volume Knobs:Its the knobs that you can control the volume and the tone from your guitar.
12.Bridge/saddle:Its the part of the guitar that the strigs are put on in order to bee in the air.
