I really like the guitar, I used to play it when I was in college, Have you tried playing the guitar?
no, i'm more a piano person but my husband has an accoustic six strings guitar
A six string guitar is what I had in college actually, I remember playing many songs for my room-mates, I'm curious who makes the majority of guitars in the US anyways? 
i think Gibson company makes guitars. The modern guitar was preceeded by the gittern, the vihuela and the four course guitar
Those sounds like interesting instruments, What is a gittern?, I never heard of it
gittern was a relatively small gut strung round backed instrument
