∙ 10y agoThey are known as the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th strings.
In the standard tuning, these are E, B, G, D, A and E (from highest to lowest). Thus, most players would refer to them as the E-string, the B-string, etc. (Although "E-string" would be ambiguous!)
The highest (in pitch) E string is the lowest (in number) 1st string, and it is the lowest (in position) when the guitar is held horizontally.
