Guitars are everywhere in Indonesia. Most Indonesian
guitars are the standard acoustic instrument: a waisted flat body,a wooden
soundboard, a long fretted neck, and six strings. Urban popular music may also
use electric rock guitars and Hawaiian guitars. In some rural areas of eastern
Indonesia, homemade instruments may be of crude construction, without frets and
with only four strings, but if they approximate the size and waisted shape of
the standard guitar, we consider them guitars for our purposes. Guitars occur
in a small number of genres of Indonesian music, but they are prominent
nevertheless, since some of the genres in which they figure—pop, dangdut,
kroncong—are known throughout the country. They are used only in
entertainment music and what we may call religious popular music. Their most
common use is to accompany informal singing of popular songs, church songs in
Christian communities, and regional or national folksongs (lagu rakyat). These are taught
in school or are generally known, but they are not perceived as originating in
commercial popular music. (Yampolsky 1999)
