This depends on the guitar:

  • Bass Guitar: 4
  • Tenor guitar: 4
  • Most Guitars: 6
  • Twelve string guitars: 12
  • Double necked (tenor+6): 10
  • Double necked (6+6): 12
  • Double necked (12+6): 18

Most have six but their are also 8 and 12 strings, and variant guitars have been made with 20 strings and even 42 strings, These latter types may have many necks and harp like sections.

because it has STRINGS and freats.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------String instruments have strings stretched over a box or board. The violin, guitar and banjo are string instruments. Sound is made by plucking the strings. (The piano is a percussion instrument because its strings are struck.)The pitch of these instruments depends on the length, thickness and tightness of the strings. The longer the string, the fewer the vibrations and, therefore, the lower the pitch.Tight, thin strings make sounds with high tones. Loose, thick strings make lower tones.
