The Guitarra de golpe is a stringed musical instrument from Mexico.
The headstock traditionally has a traditional shape that is designed to look like a stylised owl with wooden pegs, but nowadays this is sometimes replaced with a guitar or vihuela style headstock with machine heads.
For a while during the 20th century, the Guitarra De Golpe fell into disuse in traditional Mariachi groups, and was replaced by the Classical guitar.
It is still an essential part of the "conjuntos de arpa" from Michoacán.
The Guitarra de Golpe has many names.
