How is a guitar made and what is it made from? How has the advance of time affected the guitar?.  Guitar making is an art and a science. Composite material now plays a role in many of today's guitars. All of the metal parts of the guitar have also benefited from technology. The march of time has not changed the basic construction of the guitar. Woods from around the world make up most of the guitars that exist today.

Maple is the most often used material for the guitar neck as the wood must be very hard. The truss rod came to be used in the neck of the guitar to resist the forces applied to the neck.

The fret board is also made from maple as well as ebony or rosewood. In addition to being very dense these materials are also hard wearing and will last a lifetime. Fret boards may be made to last a little longer if the surface is planed to produce an even surface again.

Tuning pegs have long been a simple affair, a wooden dowel or peg with the string wrapped around it. With modern machine heads, as they are called, much finer tuning adjustments are possible. Also part of the improvement in tuning is the adjustable bridge. Together these two items have made it so you can tune a guitar and it will stay in tune.The guitar tuner is also a large contributing factor that allows guitar players everywhere to be in tune all the time.

The electrical pickup was a major landmark in the history of the guitar. At first crude and simple, the pickup evolved into a precise affair with identifiable sounds. From the simple beginnings of the pickup came the electric solid body guitar of today. Now the pickup allowed the guitar to be heard with a drummer or a band. A small pickup changed the history of the guitar for all time.

The guitar has changed in technology and material, but not in spirit.
