The guitar is a fretted and stringed musical instrument. Guitars are used in a wide variety of musical styles, and are also widely known as a solo classical instrument. They are most recognised in popular culture as the primary instrument in blues, country, and rock music. The guitar usually has six strings, but guitars with five, seven, eight, ten, twelve, and eighteen strings are also found.

There are also various kinds of guitars: classical guitar with soft nylon strings and a soundboard, acoustic Guitar with steel strings and a soundboard, or electric guitar with magnetic pickups to amplify the strings(pictured).
