Guitar

The guitar is a plucked stringed instrument that typically has six strings, a fretted fingerboard, and a soundbox with a pronounced waist. It is believed to have originated in Spain in the early 16th century. By 1800, it was commonly strung with six single strings, and innovations in the 19th century helped shape it into the modern instrument we know today. The guitar’s versatility and popularity have made it a staple in various musical genres around the world.
