Guitar Parts

Guitar parts guides from Sandy Music Lab explain the anatomy of a guitar, including necks, nuts, bridges, headstocks, frets, tuning pegs, pickups and tonewoods, and how each part affects tone, tuning and playability.
Start with guitar anatomy: everything you need to know, then go deeper on what a guitar nut does, guitar bridge types, headstock shapes and 22 vs 24 frets. Curious about wood? Is tonewood real or a myth? looks at the evidence.
For upgrades, compare electric guitar pickups, locking tuners and replacement necks, and learn how acoustic pickups work.
