There are many Guitars made with no metal at all. However, most guitars contain different types of metals.

Let's start with types of strings that contain metal:

> CLASSICAL

  • Silver-plated copper wire wrapped around nylon
  • Bronze (copper+tin) wire wrapped around nylon
> ACOUSTIC
  • Brass
  • Bronze
  • Silk + Steel
> ELECTRIC
  • Nickel
  • Steel
  • Nickel+Steel

Gearheads/Tuners/Machineheads/Elephant Ears/Cranks/Knobs/Tensioners:

Again, they don't have to be metal, but usually are. Most machine heads are nickel or nickel alloys.

Frets:

Frets don't have to be metal, but are most often made of a nickel-steel or nickel-silver alloy. They can also be a copper alloy like bronze or brass, or they can be stainless steel.

Pickups:

Electric guitars and Acoustic-Electics have transducer pickups or electro-magnetic pickups (which must contain ferromagnetic material - which must be metal).
