Buying Your First Guitar – What You Should Look For

The guitar is one of the most versatile musical instruments in the world. The guitar is about four centuries old, but to this day, its exact lineage remains obscure. Several guitar-like instruments have been mentioned in literature with some as old as being depicted in stone. The present form of the guitar was the brainchild of Spanish maker Antonio Torres in 1850. The design greatly improved the tone and volume of the guitar, as well as the ease to which the instrument can be used.
