    The guitar is a musical instrument with ancient roots that is used in a wide variety of musical styles. It typically has six strings, but four, seven, eight, ten, and twelve string guitars also exist.

    And then there are the odd ball guitars. An example would be the Kali which is an acoustic 14-string guitar, strung essentially like a standard 12-string BUT with the addition of two sub-bass strings.
