Guitar - The guitar is a stringed musical instrument. It is generally played with the fingers of the left hand[1]. The right hand plucks the strings with either the fingers or a plectrum, (guitar pick). The sound is produced by vibrating strings, which in turn resonate the body and neck.
Guitars have a body (hollow in acoustic guitars, solid in most electric guitars) and a neck. Typically, a headstock extends from the neck for tuning.
Guitars may be acoustic, electric (i.e. with electrical amplification) or both.
Guitars are used in a variety of musical styles. They are made and repaired by luthiers.
Guitars are widely known as the primary instrument in rock music.
