Before the time of baroque, the original guitar got another string - the sixth string! from the Spanish who also created the instrument into its classic form. They called their guitar Vihuela at first, and it was based on the original four-string guitar. The name of the creator of the classical guitar is Antonio de Torres. "Another form of six-string guitar was made in Italy by Gaetano Vinaccia, a man from the famous family of mandolin builders." Over time, the guitar's popularity and availability improved as the price of the guitar in Europe increased. In this time, composers and usually performers, like Fernando Sor, Mauro Giuliani, or Francisco Tarrega had a lot of impact on production of classic guitars.
