guitar string
Plucked metal strand
A guitar string is one of the taut cords stretched across a guitar's body and neck that vibrate to produce sound when plucked or strummed.
Guitars typically have six strings of varying thickness, each tuned to a different pitch.
Strings may be made of nylon for classical guitars or steel for acoustic and electric instruments.
I broke a guitar string during the solo.
