Vintage Harp Guitar-Maker Unknown

Harp guitars come in many shapes, sizes and forms. They do have however, a common defining element. In addition to the fretted neck strings, there are additional strings which are not fretted, i.e. floating. These strings can be attached in a variety of ways, and are typically plucked with the thumb or fingers.

The harp guitar wasn’t originally referred to as such. Depending on the country, historical period or configuration of instrument, they were called by many different names, and sometimes given no special name at all. They were simply “guitars.”

The term “harp guitar” as we understand it today was invented and popularized in the United States. With the most successful manufacturers of the day championing the new name, it soon became common vernacular. And, with the globalization of our planet through the internet, it was only a matter of time before “harp guitar” became an acceptable alternate term for any guitar with the features above. In 2014, “Harp Guitar” was finally given its own full entry in The Grove Dictionary of Musical Instruments
