dumb
NOT the same as stupid.
Dumb is ignorant. Someone who is stupid cannot help it and is therefore worthy of a minimal amount of pity, but someone who is dumb is simply ignorant, knowing fully well the consequences for their actions and yet still taking them, usually as a means to be "cool" or "hip."

guitar
A 6-or-12 stringed instrument, made of either wood any nylon/metal or plastic and nylon/metal.
An acoustic guitar is made of wood, and consists of 6 or 12 tuners, a neck, a body and a hole out of which sound echoes from the strings. Strings can be tightened or loosened to produce sharp or flat sounds.
An electric guitar is more commonly plugged into an amplifier, producing a louder, crunchier sound. It has no hole but uses a metal bridge to send the vibrations to the amplifier.
