How does electric guitar make sound?

Can an electric guitar kill you?
If a guitar is wired properly (including ‘grounded’), then it is not likely a person could be electrocuted. BUT, if a person is playing on a stage, and singing into a mic, and that person’s guitar, or any other guitar, amp, etc, is not grounded, then there is the possibility of electrocution.
