The guitar is different from other string instruments because it has frets (the little lines) along the neck, helping to guide finger placement. Acoustic guitars have hollow bodies, so the sound can vibrate within. Electric guitars have solid bodies, and the soft sound made by the instrument is made louder through the use of an amplifier.

Classical guitars have nylon strings, and there are half size and three-quarter size guitars for younger/smaller players.

Acoustic guitars have steel strings, making a brighter, louder sound than classical guitars.

Bass guitars usually only have 4 strings, and their sound is very low.
