What are Guitars?
A guitar is a stringed musical instrument, typically with six strings, that is played by plucking or strumming the strings. Its sound is produced by vibrating strings stretched between two fixed points. Guitars can be acoustic, relying on the resonance of their hollow body to amplify the sound, or electric using electronic pickups to amplify the sound.
