How common are six string lutes like this one?: http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute/Kay/lute12.jpg
That is not what we generally refer to as a historical lute. It looks like a guitar-lute or lutar, if you will: metal frets and six strings. The pic is pretty dark. It could be an old German wander- laute. I think they are less common than modern Renaissance lutes. Fine for classical guitarists who play at Ren fairs but not the best thing if you want to get into lute music.
