 Acoustic Guitar History
Acoustic guitars are used most often in folk and jazz music.
Andres Segovia, a Spanish guitarist who lived from 1893 to 1987, helped establish the guitar as a concert instrument, adapting it to the complex music of modern composers and transcribing early polyphonic music.
During the 19th century, improved communication and transportation enabled performers to travel widely and the guitar became a widely known instrument.

 Classical guitar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A classical guitar, also called a Spanish guitar, is a musical instrument from the guitar family.
A few classical guitars have eight or more strings to expand the bass scale, even out overtone production, and allow lute music written for lutes with more than six courses of strings to be played.
A pick-guard is a piece of plastic affixed just below the strings on steel-string guitars to protect the sound board of the guitar from damage by aggressive strumming with a pick.

As to his approach to music applied to the guitar, he regards the guitar strictly as an harmonic instrument and therefore, the correct rules of harmony should be applied to it.
It is divided into three sections dealing respectively with the guitar in general, elementary music theory applied to the guitar, and a detailed discussion of guitar construction, the personal qualities required of the player and in the location where the guitar is to be played.
This is basic music theory as applied to the guitar.

 Rickenbacker Electro Spanish Guitar
The Electro Spanish guitar functions as a solidbody instrument, and the series of hollowed-out chambers hidden beneath the fitted-dome covers do not add any beneficial acoustic properties to the instrument's sound; the cavities are there for the sake of efficient mold design, and save both in weight and in material.
As early as 1929, Les Paul was experimenting with electrifying acoustic guitars, using a phonograph needle.
Granted, the Rickenbacker Electro Spanish guitar may not be a solidbody guitar in its purest, most modern sense.

 1924 Hermann Hauser Sr
While Romanillos goes on to say that the Spanish guitar is more lightly built, and is designed to get the soundboard and the air cavity to vibrate at their optimum, the 1924 Hauser, too, is a remarkably light guitar, and the whole instrument vibrates when played.
The headstock is distinctively different from the guitars from 1925 on which paid homage to Torres and Manuel Ramirez.
The back and sides are made from European maple, but the guitar is much shallower in depth than is typical of Spanish classical or even flamenco guitars.

 Guitarra Magazine - An online Guitar Publication - Guitar History and Arts
An interesting characteristic of Baroque guitar tablature, particularly in the music of Gaspar Sanz, is the use of the alfabeto (or abecedario) chord system, which was a type of shorthand notation used with the rasqueado style of playing.
Just as the popular music of Naples aroused the creativity of the Spaniard Sanz for his guitar compositions, the popular music of Spain and, in particular, the sound of the guitar would inspire the Neapolitan Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757) for his harpsichord sonatas some years later.
The vihuela was an instrument of six double strings, or courses, and had intervalic tuning identical to that of the modern guitar with the exception of the third course, which was tuned to F sharp.

 Music of Puerto Rico - Instruments - Guitar
It was virtually replaced by the classic guitar until it was revived in the 1920- 30's as accompaniment to melody instead of the bass role.
There is perhaps, no more widely used musical instrument in the various genres of Puerto Rican music, than the guitar.
Quickly adopted throughout Spain, the guitar displaced earlier instruments such as the vihuela.

 Amazon.com: Spanish Guitar [CD-SINGLE] [IMPORT]: Music
Outside of the U.S., 'Spanish Guitar' is the second single from this resurrected R&B singing sensation's current smash album, 'The Heat', her third.
The spanish guitars aren't used nearly as much in this remix as they are in the other versions, which some may say is a good thing, depending on your view of the flamenco sound.
But this one steers clear of the vocoder vocals that we are used to from these guys, they keep the guitars working through the whole mix, but they also still keep some of their sound to the remix through the throbbing backbeat.
