A silent guitar (Also known as a "Travel Guitar") is a type of guitar with a hollow body that converts the vibration of the strings into electrical current. The hollow body of the guitar does not amplify the vibration of the strings into audible sound, so the musician is able to play with headphones without disturbing people around him while he practices.
