Summary: The modern guitar dates back to the 15th century, but earlier instruments that eventually became the Roman guitar are found in records of the first century CE and even earlier. Guitars are stringed instruments (usually four, six, or twelve) with a fretboard and a sound-modulating hollow body. They share a common ancestor with the sitar of India, made famous in the West by Ravi Shankar and George Harrison. Electric guitars were first produced in the 20th century and continue to be a striking icon within American popular culture.
