History
The first recording of a guitar was 3,000 years ago. It I'd a wooden box with a hole that had a stick for a neck, with strings of fiber attached. The Spanish guitar was invented along with the style of playing in 1200. Electric guitar was invented in 1931 by the father of modern guitar Les Paul. Many styles of playing came with this. Metal, Jazz, alternative, funk and more.
Classic Guitar
The classic guitar or Spanish guitar takes an acoustic look. What makes I'd different from Electric guitar is it has classic guitar strings (nylon) instead of metal stings. This makes it sound more ringing and acoustic.
