Question: What are guitar strings made of!?
Just curious!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Depends on personal preference and the type of guitar used!.

A classical would typically use nylon strings!. A steel string acoustic typically uses steel strings!. Of these, there are variations, and some may not be made entirely of string!. Some more expensive ones for example, may have a silk core and a metal outer layer!. It all depends on the sound and quality the guitarist wants!.
