They are made of several different metals, including steel, copper, aluminum and silver. Many are made of some sort of core (steel, copper, gut, or various plastics) and then wrapped with aluminum or silver. Often the upper two strings (A and D) are steel, wrapped with aluminum or silver, and the lower two (G and C) are gut or perlon wrapped with aluminum or silver.

Try different types of strings to find the sound and feel you like best.
