The guitar can be divided into two main parts: <u>Body</u> and <u>Neck</u>. The terms ''front/back/side/etc'' can get a little confusing. Typically the part that faces the audience and has the strings, pickups, bridge, and controls is the <u>front</u> or <u>face</u> (but sometimes also called the <u>top</u>); and the part that faces your body is the <u>back</u>. All other parts of the body are called the <u>side</u>. All ''directionality'' is usually along the ''neck-body'', or more commonly ''neck-bridge'', axis. For example, a pickup is often called the neck pickup or the bridge pickup, based on whether it is the one closer to the neck or to the bridge.
