Here's What a Guitar Is

A guitar is a musical instrument with a long fretted neck which popularly has 6 strings, though some guitars have 12.

Guitars are divided into 2 basic body types: acoustic and electric.

Acoustic guitars typically have a hollow, flat faced body shaped like an "8." The body of electric guitars can vary greatly, but they're usually solid and also made of wood.

The 1st electric guitar was surprisingly invented in the 1880s.
