: : i would like to know exactly who invented the first electric guitar.was it les paul gibson?
::: People have been playing guitars or similar instruments all around the world for hundreds of years, but they've only been electric since 1923. That was when Lloyd Loar invented the pickup, the gizmo that makes the guitar louder in the same way a microphone makes your voice louder. They take the sound from the strings of the guitar and send them to an amplifier. This increases the volume of the guitar.
