Well the Electric Guitar has come a far way from when it was invented. Compared to the 60's electric today's electric guitar has a better pick-ups, thinner body, cleaner tone, more options, thousands of different styles, finishes shapes, and sizes, a more diverse variety of string gauges and sting elements, and overall a more precise instrument. If The Beatles used a 2012 Les Paul instead of the hunk of wood they were using, they would probably be even more popular than they already are. I hope I helped you understand the components that make today's electric guitar stand out from all the rest. - roxas_riku

you name it , it's been done, but more importantly it depends on brand and model or series.

longer necks on some to achieve lower tunings

seeing how certain woods are used to create different sounds

which metals work excellent with guitar parts to last longer and sound better

better ways to build

quicker and more precise using computers to cut slabs of wood into bodies and necks or fret Guitars , CNC machines or Plek is a great example

that is the tip of the iceberg
