Hi Stuart, Oswald used a guittar in G (as well as one in C) in his 18 Divertimento's for Two Guitars (I think 1758). Number 14, for example, uses material from Divertimenti VII from the 12 Divertimentis (1759). If the same fingering is used as for the 12, the 18 version implies a guittar in G. Other items also indicate a guittar in G. Also, in his Pocket Companion, he writes for both C and G guittars. And finally, his 'A Compleat Tutor for the Guittar with two Scales shewing the method of Playing in the keys of C and G'. He shows written-out scales with fingering for the two instruments.

The only music I ever came across for a guittar in G was some extremely basic stuff that could as well have been played on a guittar in C.
