Stringed musical instruments with a hollow wooden body and a long neck, played by plucking or strumming the strings.
From Spanish 'guitarra,' from Greek 'kithara,' an ancient stringed instrument. The modern shape evolved from Spanish and Moorish influences.
The acoustic guitar shape we know today was perfected by Spanish luthier Antonio de Torres in the 1800s—he literally designed the blueprint modern guitars still follow!
