A traditional stringed musical instrument from Central America with a guitar-like shape, typically made from wood and played by plucking.
From Spanish 'guitarra' combined with indigenous Mesoamerican language elements; evolved from Spanish colonial contact with pre-Columbian musical traditions.
The guetar represents a beautiful linguistic collision: Spanish colonizers brought the word 'guitarra,' but indigenous craftspeople modified both the instrument and its name to fit their own languages, creating something entirely new.
