Yes. There are two kinds of strings - nylon strings for the classical style of guitar, and steel string for the acoustic and also the Electric Guitar.

It is most common for Guitars to have 6 strings, with the lowest toned string at the top of the guitar (when held in playing position). There are, however, 12 stringed guitars, where each of the 6 strings has another string next to it which is tuned an octave higher than its counterpart.

This gives a very full, lush sound, such as the sound of the acoustic guitar in The Eagles song, "Hotel California" or in David Bowie's "Space Oddity".
