How Many Strings Does a Guitar Have? A standard guitar typically has six strings, which are tuned in the order of E, A, D, G, B, and high E from the lowest to the highest pitch. These strings are made from materials such as steel, nickel, or nylon, depending on whether the guitar is acoustic, electric, or classical. However, not all guitars have six strings—variations exist to accommodate different playing styles and musical genres.
