a compressed spring
This is known as elastic energy. It is a type of potential energy.
Energy can be converted from one form to another in a windup toy because when the spring unwinds, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
Potential energy is a form of energy that is stored within an object and it can be released or converted into another form of energy. Potential energy is most often associated with restoring forces such as in a spring, which stores potential energy when compressed or stretched.
The matter in a spring is in a form that wants to bend back into shape when bent. This is called elasticity. When you compress the spring, it wants to spread itself out again, but because you won't let it, it has that energy stored inside of it, waiting to be used. This kind of energy is called potentail energy. Potential energy can exist for two main reasons... if something is above the ground and something is stopping it from falling, it will have potential enrgy. The energy it had to fall is waiting to be used as movement or kinetic energy. This is gravitational potential energy. The spring had potential energy of postion, so the position it was in had potential energy. When you release he spring, it will let out the enrg as movement. The farther you compress the spring, the more energy it will have.
When a ball is squashed, it gains potential energy due to the compression of its material. This potential energy is stored in the form of elastic potential energy, as the ball has the potential to return to its original shape when released.
Potential energy
Mechanical energy is defined as the sum of kinetic energy + potential energy.
That would be categorized as mechanical energy.

I think the normal Guitar produces mechanical energy.

There is no "noun" of "squashed", it isn't as if nouns and verbs are interchangeable. There is a noun "squash" which can be a vegetable, a drink or a sport. And there is an infinitive verb "to squash" primarily meaning "to flatten". The past tense of "to squash" is "squashed"
During combustion, energy is released. Some of this energy takes the form of light, making the flame visible.
