Best Answer

wood for 90% of the guitar , the other 10% comprises of metals, plastic and magnets to make the bridge, tuner and various electronics.

so a great example

maple neck which is wood

rosewood for the fingerboard which is the second wood

mahogany body which is another wood

nickle for the frets the parts we place our fingers

ceramic/plastic/copper for the pickups without getting into extreme detail

plastic for the pick guard and knobs

various metals for solder, pots and so forth for the electronics inside it to make it work and the guitar to play properly and in tune.

thats a good idea if you're doing it for a project or whatever.
