What Am I?

She has a body like no other. Her smooth caramel skin shines in the sunlight from waxing. Her neck has little dots that appear to be moles or freckles. Neck, body, curves, and a hole leading straight to her heart. Some girls have strings attached; she has six.

Standing in the corner until one day she is played. She gets attention by sitting on the laps of those who know her well and those who do not know her at all. When I see her, she always seems fretful. I think it's because everyone holds her by the neck, twisting her knobs, and pinching her with a capo.

Her voice is mostly in tone, but I have found her to be sharp or flat at times. She sounds beautiful when she is  stroked right. I love to hear her sing.

People think that she's crazy. They say she has knobs in her head, and that they are attached to her six strings. The knobs are cold, shinny, and easily tighten. I know that every part of her has a purpose. No one can say she is worthless after hearing the scratching sound of her voice moving from cord to cord.

Don't bump into her. You will not like the way she sounds after you do.

I really don't know any other way to describe her. If you saw her walking in the room, you would know that she was born to play on the stage.

What is she?

It's a guess, not a test! Leave your guess in the comment section below. Thanks people!
