Is an electric guitar a type of chordophone?

Yes, an electric guitar is a type of chordophone. Chordophones are musical instruments that produce sound by the vibration of strings, and electric guitars use metal strings that are amplified and modified electronically. Electric guitars are typically played by plucking the strings with a pick or finger, and the sound is generated by the vibrations of the strings being picked up by magnetic pickups and converted into an electrical signal. This electrical signal is then amplified and modified by an amplifier and effects pedals to produce the desired sound.
