steel string
Metal guitar cord
Steel string refers to guitar strings made of steel rather than nylon, or to the instruments that use them.
A steel-string acoustic guitar produces a brighter, louder sound than a classical guitar with nylon strings: She switched from classical to steel string when she got into folk music.
The term often modifies guitar or appears alone as shorthand for the instrument itself.
