What material is an electric guitar made of?

Answer 1

usually..

alder , or mahogany to basswood for the body

maple for the neck , if not mahogany again for the neck

ebony , maple or rosewood for the fretboard

nickel for the frets , stainless steel being the expensive option

steel for the tuners I can imagine

various kinds of alnico or ceramic for the pickup magnet

copper to silver to wind the pickups

plastic for the bobbin (cover)

Answer 2

you start off with a big steel string called the core

than you wind another metal on it such as nickel, steel or bronze

the ball end goes on sometime in the process but yeah , it's real simple

nickel is the most recommended metal for electric players , 90% of strings are made of it

steel can wear down a Guitars neck faster than nickel and is a bit more money to buy

bronze is your typical acoustic string

Answer 3

Usually, acoustic guitars have 3 plastic strings whilst electric guitars usually have steel strings.

Answer 4

Nickel or Steel Alloys (mixtures) , GHS even uses a bit of dynamite in their Boomers to give it that extra metallic sound.
