Pitch detection circuitry drives some type of display (an analog needle, an LCD simulated image of a needle, LED lights ...

5. Pickup (music technology) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickup_(music_technology)

   Magnetic pickups. Magnetic pickups, as applied in electric guitars, register the vibrations of nickel or steel strings in a magnetic field. They have the advantage that they can be connected directly to an (electric guitar) amplifier, but in combination with a steel-string acoustic guitar the sound tends to be electric. This is why acoustic ...

6. Jazz guitar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz_guitar

   Archtop guitars are steel-string acoustic guitars with a big soundbox, arched top, violin-style f-holes, a "floating bridge" and magnetic or piezoelectric pickups. Early makers of jazz guitars included Gibson, Epiphone, D'Angelico and Stromberg. The electric guitar is plugged into a guitar amplifier to make it sound loud enough for performance ...

7. Acoustic guitar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_guitar

   Magnetic pickups on acoustic guitars are generally mounted in the sound hole, and are similar to those in electric guitars. An acoustic guitar with pickups for electrical amplification is called an acoustic-electric guitar. In the 2000s, manufacturers introduced new types of pickups to try to amplify the full sound of these instruments.
