Who plays a twelve string guitar?

Between none and 12 depending on how many are missing! And that's not as daft as it sounds. An unusual but not unheard-of technique is to remove the octave (usually e, a and d, sometimes also g) strings from a 12-string, leaving only the unison strings and resulting in a 9-string or 8-string guitar. This retains the chorused sound of the higher strings but removes the octave doubling of the lower strings. Another technique is known as "Nashville tuning". This can also be done on a six-string but there is no reason why it shouldn't be applied to a 12-string. It consists of using ONLY the octave and unison strings from a 12-string set, giving a 6-string with a re-entrant tuning which can be used to double a conventional rhythm part, or to produce a less bass-heavy chordal part.

Which guitar was made first 12 string 6 string or bass 4 string?

The six string guitar has a history spanning back to the 17th Century as an ancestor of the modern classical guitar.The electric six string guitar was a concept that was initially developed by the jazz musician Les Paul (real name Lester Paulfus) in the 1930's. The idea was the topic of discussion between him and his friends Leo Fender and Paul Bigsby. The first production electric guitar was the Broadcaster by Fender in 1951.The Precision Bass was also first taken into production in 1951, having been based on the much larger upright bass. In the case of the bass guitar the electric version was first, followed by the acoustic.

How is a guitar string made?

start with a thin piece of steel than wind over the string 1000s of times. I learned this when I was putting a very thick bass string on my electric guitar to experiment with low tunings.
