The guitar is a musical instrument of (usually) six strings either strummed or plucked with the fingers or a pick. It has a body with a flat back and curves. Its back and ribs are made of maple, ash, or cherry-wood. Its sound board is made of pine. Its bridge is made of ebony wood and ivory. The neck and fingerboard are made of hard ebony, beech, or pear wood. The head has two parallel casks through which metal screws pass.
