Who invenented the electric guitar?

The first electric guitar was the Rickenbacker A-22, better known as the "Frying Pan," invented in 1931 by George Beauchamp. It was a steel guitar, and used two horseshoe magnets that arched over the strings as pickups. While this is officially recognized as the first, as he was not granted a patent until 1937, he could not make the only electric guitar until a patent was granted, giving other manufacturers plenty of time to create their own electric guitars and think of ways to get around Beauchamp's patent. Production of the A-22 ran from 1932 to 1939.
