So what is a 6 string electric guitar called

Answer 1

It's simply called an electric guitar. If someone simply calls something a guitar, then chances are it has six strings. There are twelve stringed guitars, and other amounts of strings but six stringed ones are most common. A bass guitar is significantly different from a guitar in the size of the frets, strings, number of strings (usually four, can have more), etc.

So you can just call a six string electric guitar an electric guitar.

A Gibson Flying V can be referred to as an electric guitar for example, lol. You could say six stringed electric guitar, but that would be unnecessary.

Answer 2

It's called an electric guitar.  Guitars come standard with six strings. So unless the guitar has a different number of strings (say 7 or 12), it is understood to have only six strings and there is no need to specify the string count.  

Answer 3
