Steel String Acoustic (Guitar)

by Jay Skyler

Steel string refers to an acoustic or electric guitar where the plain strings and the cores of the wound strings are made of metal (as opposed to nylon). The outer wrapping of the wound strings is typically nickel, a nickel steel alloy, or stainless steel for electrics and a brass or bronze alloy for acoustics. All electric guitars are steel strings. If an acoustic guitar has a pickguard, its a steel string.
