Abstract
The authors’ ethnographic research on the guitar in Turkey has begun to reveal the
instrument’s multi-faceted role within Turkish music, culture and society. We discuss the
emergence and development of unique playing styles alongside several customisations of
the instrument, focusing on the work of Erkan Og?ur who is known as the inventor of the
fretless classical guitar. As well as Og?ur’s ongoing contribution, several other Turkish
guitarists continue to expand and deepen the role of the guitar within the Turkish
soundscape. This has been accompanied by a growth of local interest in the guitar, guitar
making, pedagogy and retail, all of which are bound up with wider historical, cultural
and technological changes and developments, and issues and tensions, within Turkish
society.
