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. It was not long until they renamed it as the Telecaster. Then later inventing itâs bigger brother the âStratocasterâ as an upgrade (donât tell the tele lovers that!).
In 1931 the Electro String Company was founded by Paul Barth, George Beauchamp and Adolph Rickenbacker, and developed the first electric guitars marketed to the general publicâ¦. They made their guitars from cast aluminum and were played on a person's lap using a steel slide much like today's steel guitar.
