guitarGuitar: A musical instrument having a large flat-backed sound box, a long fretted neck, and usually six strings, played by strumming or plucking. Related Products & musical instrument: Guitar, Drum Kit, Piano, Violin, Harmonica Related History: The Spanish vihuela "de mano" appears to be an aberration in the transition of the renaissance guitar to the modern guitar. It had lute-style tuning and a guitar-like body. Its construction had as much in common with the modern guitar as with its contemporary four-course renaissance guitar. The vihuela enjoyed only a short period of popularity, the last surviving publication of music for the instrument appeared in 1576.
