Read Rickenbackerâs history. The first solid body electric guitar was invented by Les Paul in 1941. It wasnât a pretty sight like the Les Paulâs you see today, but it was still the first in itâs class. It was basically a solid square wooden body with 6 steel strings on a neck.t was later in the 1940s when Leo Fender invented his first electric guitar naming it the Broadcaster.
