There are plenty of ways in which to get the sound out if an electric guitar into the recording gear whether this is a digital or analog piece of equipment.
Method 1 - Record the actual sound coming out of the amplifier with a microphone and into a microphone pre amp. Then, from the pre amp, which could be built into an interface or part of a board, into the storage medium (DAW's hard drive for example).
Effective method for getting rid of transients:
Method 2 - Record from the guitar into a Direct Injection box or DI. Then take the signal straight into the input of the interface you might be using with a built in gain knob (or into a stand alone pre amp). And then straight into the DAW or storage medium.
The DI box in method 2 makes the signal compatible for recording the guitar directly. Keep it simple, use a passive DI.
In scenario 1, the mic is doing the transduction. In scenario 2, the guitar is going straight in.
