Main Parts

A guitar has:

  • Neck - the part you hold with your left hand (fretting hand)
  • Body - big wooden part that sits on your lap. This is the part that makes the sound louder (acoustic) or holds electronics (electric).
  • Headstock - top part above neck with tuning pegs.
  • Frets - metal strips across the neck
  • Strings - metal (or nylon) strings
