How many strings does an Acoustic Guitar have???

Question

Is it compulsarily 6 or it can be 5 also??

Answer 1

Late in his career jazz master Lenny Breau played a custom seven string.

Answer 2

Classical strings are nylon, not metal. The strings on a western guitar (like a martin) are metal but are different then what you would use on a strat for example. This all has to do with the pickups, body composition, etc. Most strings have a core which is round wound on the 6, 5, 4 and sometimes third strings (E A D G). The 2 and 1 are not wound, the material used on nylon strings can be a type of metal. Some players prefer flat wound, which are smooth when you run your fingers on them. The preference is for tone however.

Answer 3

it depends on if its a 6 string or a 12 string

Answer 4

Acoustic guitars can have 6 or they can also have 12 strings. A good example of a 12 string song- Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi. R. Sambora plays (DUH!) but it sounds like 2 guitars at once.

Answer 5

6 or 12. unless it's a bass then anywhere from 4 to 6 on one of those

Answer 6

Standard tuning
Low (Thick string) "E" then
A, D, G, B and E again.
The thinnest string is also an "E" which is an octave higher that the low (thick string) E
On a 12 string, the E, A, D, G strings are an octave apart and the B & E strings are tuned to the same note.

Answer 7

It's usually 6.

Answer 8

6. It's the same as an electric (double necks excluded). Unless you break one
