The Romantic guitar is the guitar of the Romantic period of classical music (c.1815-1910). It is the immediate precursor of the modern classical guitar. By this time guitars were standardised as six-string instruments (compared to, for example, the Baroque guitar with nine or ten strings paired to make five courses).
