g-string

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'part for violin' is the definition.
'G string' can be an answer for 'violin' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'part for' bit.

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for g-string that I've seen before include "Stripper's minimal garment" , "Minimal wear" , "Violin catgut - stripper's garment" , "Skimpy garment" , "Thong" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
