When a string is plucked, its vibration is transmitted from the bridge, resonating throughout the top of the guitar.

The original, general term for this stringed instrument is guitar, and the retronym 'acoustic guitar' distinguishes it from an electric guitar, which relies on electronic amplification. In standard tuning, the guitar's six strings are tuned (low to high) E2 A2 D3 G3 B3 E4.
