Guitar family
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
The 'classical' guitar is typically a Spanish-derived, six-stringed
instrument played using a plectrum or the finger-nails, with frets set
into the fingerboard. Popular music tends to use amplification for both
six-stringed instruments and the four-string bass guitar. The guitar
family gradually supplanted the lute which had come to prominence during
the Renaissance.
