Only five courses? Now we have guittars of five, six and seven courses. But only six-course music? Does anyone know of guittar music for less or more than six courses?

Gibson Dublin 17_5 The blanks stand for not decipherable letters. The rosette is missing. String length: 46,8 Bridge: fixed to the soundboard by glue It has five courses in doubles Pegs: brass, like those in Amsterdam, no Preston Tuners He has seen two similar instruments in the V&A Museum, London, the first one with the number 11/3 : English guitar by W. Gibson. Signed on back in ink: Dublin; 1765 The second one is anonymus. One of them has a fixed bridge, too. sorry to be so late with this information, couldn't make it sooner.
