Parts of the electric guitar:
Head and tuning pegs
Most electric guitars have 6 tuning pegs located on the same side of the headstock (some however have 3 on each side of the head). Turn the pegs to tune the guitar. Turning the pegs either tighten or loosen the strings resulting in a higher or lower pitched tone.
The Nut
The nut is designed to lead the strings from the fret board to the tuning pegs through the slots in the nut. It is usually made of plastic, brass, bone or graphite.
Guitar neck and Fret board
The guitar neck itself is most commonly made out of rosewood or maple or variations of those types of wood. Necks can also be made out of ebony or mahogany.
Some players choose their guitar necks carefully as it is a factor in the overall sound of the guitar.
The neck is either bolted to the guitar body or made as one part with the guitar body.
The fret board on this guitar type consists of fret wires place into the guitar's neck. Between these wires are the frets where you place your fingers. A standard electric guitar usually has 21-24 frets. Each fret represents one semitone so a fret board with 24 frets is spanning 2 octaves (24 semitones).
