A guitar is a six stringed instrument. A citar, for example, has five strings. The modern guitar originated in Spain, from what I read here in another question or answer. As far as I know, a guitar has to have six strings to be considered a guitar - so the second part of the answer for your question would be 100% of them.

Gutiars:
6 String
7 String
8 String
12 String

Bass:
4 String
5 String
6 String
8 String

and then theres some intrument that has like 12 strings. I think its a called a Chapman's Stick or something like that. you play it by tapping everything, more like a piano than a guitar
