The structure of the acoustic guitar

An acoustic guitar is generally composed of three major parts: the headstock, the neck, and the body.

1. The headstock and   tuning machine are used to fix the  strings and adjust the tightness of the guitar strings.

2. Neck Fingerboard: The long board that connects the headstock and the guitar body. It is named after the fingers wander on it when playing.

3.Guitar fret: a metal strip on the fingerboard, mostly made of copper.

Frets: The part between the frets, some also call them frets. Facing the guitar, from top to bottom they are called the first fret, second fret, third fret, fourth fret...

4.Fret Points: Points of metal within certain frets. Standard folk guitars are distributed in the third, fifth, seventh, ninth, twelfth (two fret points), fifteenth, and seventeenth frets, which helps guitarists quickly identify the corresponding frets when playing.

5. Guiar body 

6.Sound hole: collects the sound emitted by the strings and uses the structure of the piano box to diffuse, strengthen and reverberate, making the sound more beautiful and pleasant.

7. Guitar Bridge: Mainly plays the role of supporting the strings.

8.Bridge code: It is the small white strip on the top of the bridge, commonly known as the saddle. The bridge code at the head of the guitar is called the upper bridge code, and the bridge code is called the lower bridge code. The quality of the bridge directly affects the sound quality. The material is usually made of cow bone or plastic, and high-end pianos are made of ivory.

9.String nail: also called string fixing cone, which fixes the strings. It needs to be pulled out when changing strings.

10.Guitar strings: Facing the guitar, from left to right are the sixth string, the fifth string, the fourth string, the third string, the second string, and the first string. Their thicknesses decrease in order, with the sixth string being the thickest and the first string the thinnest. Its tightness can be adjusted by the  machine head .
