Journal Article
The Early Wire-Strung Guitar
2006
Overview
Scholarship has assumed for many years that wire guitar strings were an anomaly in instruments of the 16th-18th centuries. However, three historic wire-strung guitars - an Italian model made by luthier Daniel Pfanzelt c. 1620, an unsigned Italian model dating from c. 1650, and a Portuguese instrument of unclear craftsmanship dating from c. 1740-1750 - suggest that this supposition is incorrect. Wire-strung guitars were not only more prevalent than previously known in this time, but perhaps even preferred to the more popular gut-stringed models. Each of the three guitars is described and analyzed in detail.
