How many strings are on a guitar?

Are there different numbers of strings for the various kinds of guitars or do they all have the same number? Which guitars have more than 6 strings? Do you need to tighten them with every use?

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Different types of guitars have different strings. A standard bass guitar has four. A regular electric or acoustic guitar has six strings. Twelve-string guitars are also common; this is what bands like the Byrds played. Twelve-strings sound more jangly than a standard six-string. I don't tighten the strings with every use; it's not necessary.
