Slung part right here is called the neck. On the front of the guitar neck, through out the neck we've got a small plastic piece that strings cross right here, its called the Nut and these wires and spaces that go across the front of the neck, are called Frets and that is called the Fret board.
This is the body of the guitar and the body of the guitar, the top of the body has a sound hole in it and also a bridge piece. In the bridge piece there are the sting pegs and a small plastic piece that goes into the bridge piece that the strings cross, called the bridge of the guitar.
