Vintage guitars? You want vintage guitars?
I just ran into this web site. It gives a pretty good run-down on the evolution of the guitar from the mixed stew of plucked and strummed instruments out of which the instrument we now call the "guitar" actually emerged. Fascinating stuff!! I understand that King Charles II was a fairly decent baroque guitar player when he wasn't chasing his female courtiers around the bed.
