The guitar was really a poor mans instrument easy to play and build a decent one but not great or good one. Original Guitars were gut and nylon. Steel strings came much later.
Blues with guitar are common. Blues with guitar and steel guitar and harmonica are the best.
When I think of the blues, I hear the organ, bass and acoustic guitar.

Blues is a very broad genre, but the most common instruments include: acoustic guitar, electric guitar, harmonica, electric bass, upright bass, electric piano/organ, piano, drums, and various horns (e.g. saxophones and trumpets).
