really enjoy reading this history stories you post mate! very interesting and educational in the same time! + that is some weird guitar head because of the 90 degrees turn.

Thanks @behemoth18, I really appreciate hearing that. I know! Crazy weird guitar head, I'm guessing it helps the leverage of the strings pulling on it?

Thats the weirdest guitar i've ever seen ;)

Upvote me man and give me some lute !! (-:

@clumsysilverdad fine! but get your own strings ;)

It's interesting to trace the parallel development of stringed instruments through space and time. I didn't realize that there were so many open questions regarding the family tree of the modern guitar. Thanks for the post.

Yes, guitar has a very interesting history. There are so many more that I have... like how it is rumored to have come from the african banjo also.
