Summary:ABSTRACT. From the late sixteenth century, and during the following decades, the guitar became for barbers an icon of their profession since —according to a well-rooted literary and social stereotype— skilled craftsmen and officials of this disparaged job used to sing in their shops and in other festive contexts, folías, pasacalles and other popular tunes, wich they accompanied with a villainous strum of the instrument, eventually known as toque a lo barbero. RESUMEN. Desde finales del siglo XVI, y durante las décadas siguientes, la guitarra se convirtió para los barberos en un icono de su profesión, ya que, según arraigado estereotipo literario y social, maestros y oficiales de este denostado oficio tenían costumbre de entonar en sus tiendas y ciertos contextos festivos folías, pasacalles y tonadas populares, que acompañaban con un vil rasgueado del instrumento, conocido con el tiempo como toque a lo barbero.
