The guitar in something resembling its modern form with a compact, waisted body, six single strings and a neck with metal frets dates back to about 1790. Earlier Guitars had a longer, less waisted body, five pairs of strings and frets consisting of gut threads tied to the neck.
The modern Spanish or "classical" guitar owes its design almost entirely to Antonio de Torres Jurado's late 19th-century instruments.
In North America, further development took place during the next 30 or so years, primarily by C.F. Martin and Orville Gibson, resulting in the earliest steel-stung guitars by the turn of the 20th century. These reached their two modern forms (flat-top and archtop) by about 1920.
The major innovations in acoustic guitars since then have been electric amplification (Lloyd Loar, 1920s), use of synthetic materials for guitar bodies (Mario Maccaferri, 1950s and Charles Kaman, Ovation, 1965), and bronze strings (D'Addario, 1974).
