Guitar History
Don't know if they've invented it, but they've likely become the closest to perfecting the playing of it.....I give you.....Paco De Lucia.....
Did Spain invent the guitar as we know it?
"The original shape of the guitar in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. A plucked string instrument that was first called a guitar appeared in Spain around the turn of the fifteenth century. The instrument was actually called a vihuela, and consisted of four double-strings (paired courses)."
"Antonio de Torres Jurado (13 June 1817 – 19 November 1892) was a Spanish guitarist and luthier, and "the most important Spanish guitar maker of the 19th century."[1]
It is with his designs that the first recognizably modern classical guitars are to be seen.[2] Most acoustic guitars in use today are derivatives of his designs."

First steel string guitar was invented by a German immigrant.
Christian Frederick Martin
"Although steel-stringed acoustic guitars are now used all over the world, the person who is thought to have created the first of these guitars was a German immigrant to the United States named Christian Frederick Martin (1796-1867). Guitars at the time used so-called catgut strings created from the intestines of sheep."
