When was a guitar invented?

Answer 1

Spain I believe it originates and its the 15th or 16th century so theres no way to be certain, but Guitars go back really far so to be 100% certain is really difficult to say who invented them, first there was the harp, than there was the lute and than around the 15th century there was the guitar. Interesting fact the first guitar strings ever where made from animal guts up until 1942

Answer 2

Since about l934 a group called Milton Brown and the musical Brownies first used one. they were modified acoustic guitars with a sort of pick-guard and some streamlining could be played acoustically well.

Answer 3

The first Bass Guitar was invented by Paul Tutmarc in Seattle, Washington, USA in the early 1930's. It was known as the "Electric Bass Fiddle," and appeared in a catalog by Tutmarc's company, Audiovox, in 1935. Much smaller than the double bass, this bass was easier to carry. This bass was not fretted, however, and was not quite as popular as its descendant.

This design was innovated greatly by Leo Fender, founder of what is now known as Fender Musical Instruments Corporation. Using a telecaster-body design, Fender came out with the "Precision Bass," a.k.a. "P-Bass" in 1951. It was fretted like a guitar, which allowed players greater ease in playing in tune (hence the name: "Precision Bass"). Not only was this model easier to carry than a double bass, but it was also much easier to play in tune. This model was extremely popular and was the first bass guitar as we know it today.
