I play the acoustic guitar - there are 3 main times of this guitar -  the classical guitar, the steel-string acoustic guitar, and the archtop guitar.
I thought there was just typically one type of guitar so that's interesting
It is also interesting that today's guitar was preceded by the gittern, the vihuela, the four-course Renaissance guitar, and the five-course baroque guitar
Can you perhaps explain to me what a gittern is?
A gittern was a fairly small gut strung round-backed instrument from around the 13th century
