according to wikipedia: The guitaris a string instrument of the chordophone family constructed from wood and strung with either nylon or steel strings. The modern guitar was preceded by the lute, vihuela, four-course renaissance guitar and five-course baroque guitar; all of which contributed to the development of the modern six-string instrument.

Was the acoustic guitar the first guitar made?

It partially depends on your definition of a guitar. I personally would say it's a stringed instrument with a fretted neck, a waisted body, and a single sound hole - something that looks like a guitar, even if the number and tuning of strings might differ. Given that definition, the earliest Guitars were called vihuelas, and are depicted in art from at least 1510, perhaps earlier. The oldest existing guitar (that I know of) is attributed to Belchior Diaz, a Portuguese builder who probably made the instrument around 1590. It has ten strings arranged in five courses. The modern tuning and standard arrangement of six strings was common by the late 1700's.
