Acoustic Guitar - parts



• The large wooden part of the guitar is referred to as the “body” while the thin piece that is connected to the body is called the “neck.”
• The strings run from the “bridge” which is on the body of the guitar (near the hole in the body) and connect to the “tuning pegs (or) tuning heads” which are on the “head” of the guitar.
• The metal pieces that lie along the neck at seemingly random intervals are the “frets” and the neck is sometimes referred to as the “fretboard.”
• The six strings are pressed onto the fretboard by the player’s left hand, which shortens the part of the string allowed to vibrate when plucked, which changes the pitch of the string.
