: : : : i need 2 no for a school assignment who invented the electric guitar

: Hey Dumb Fuck, its Lez Paul, he played the greatest song with it too. Geeze, why are you doing a report on a guitar when you dont even know anything about it, fucking poser

Pretty much the first electric guitar was the Rickenbacker "Frying Pan", an aluminium Hawaiian guitar (lap steel) from the 1920s. The Gibson ES-150 was the first mass-produced Electric Spanish (ES) guitar, a standard Gibson acoustic modified with a single coil pickup (nicknamed the "Charlie Christian pickup," after the jazz guitarist who is credited as the first to play electric lead guitar on records). The first solid bodied electic guitar that was offered in a catalog as a standard model is generally recognised as another Rickenbacker, in the late 1940s. By the time that Les Paul was shopping around his Log (prototype solid bodied guitar), Paul Bigsby had already produced a one-off single cutaway solidbody for the country singer/guitaris Merle Travis. This guitar, which was seen in and around So. Calif. for some time, is generally regarded as the inspiration for the Fender Telecaster, released in 1949/50. The Gibson Les Paul model did not appear until 1952.
