What is the history of the acoustic guitar?
assistant
The acoustic guitar has a long and rich history. It was first invented in Spain around the 15th century, but it wasn't until the early 1900s that it became popular in North America. In the 1920s, electric guitars began to gain popularity, and by the 1930s, the acoustic guitar had become largely replaced by the electric one. However, in the 1960s, the acoustic guitar experienced a revival due to folk music and the hippie movement. Since then, it has been used in many different genres, including blues, rock, country, jazz, and even metal.
