Old guitar-like instrument (4)

I believe the answer is:

lute

(Other definitions for lute that I've seen before include "Ancient stringed instrument" , "Plucked instrument; a sealant" , "Old guitar-like instrument played by minstrels" , "Stringed instrument shaped like a halved egg" , "instrument that minstrel played" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
