5. 2. GUITAR STRUCTURE

6. • Headstock Of Guitar- The headstock is located
on the top of the guitar's neck. Hence the work
of the headstock is to support the tuners, which
terminates the strings of the instrument.
• Nut- A guitar's nut has several important
functions. it is located at the end of the
headstock and top of the fretboard (where it
meets the headstock).

7. • Bridge Of Guitar - A bridge of a guitar is generally a device
that supports the strings on a guitar and transmits the
vibration of those strings to another structural component of
the instrument—typically a soundboard, such as the top of a
guitar or violin—which transfers the sound to the surrounding
air.
• Soundboard and Sound hole- This is especially the wooden
piece mounted on the front of the guitar's body, and its job is
to make the guitar's sound loud enough for us to hear. There
is a large hole in the soundboard also called the sound hole.
The hole is usually round and centered.
