The classical guitar is perhaps the oldest incarnation of the modern guitar. There have been many instruments that resemble guitars in many ways that came before what could be called the first true guitar. The origins of these instruments are ultimately unknown. There are many theories as to where and when the guitar originated but no conclusive answers. Speculation as to where the guitar first originated could be isolated to many regions of nearly every continent, but it is known that instruments closely resembling the classical guitar have been in use for at least 5,000 years.

There is no known date to when the oldest guitar was made but it roots back to somewhere in Spain about 5000 years ago. If you're wondering about the oldest modern day style acoustic guitar its about 160 years old (it was made in 1850). The first electric guitar was made in 1931.

You cant trace it back to a specific date. It really depends on what you are willing to consider a "guitar".
