The guitar wasn't actually officially declared invented until 1929, but Les Paul had been attempting to perfect amplification since the early 1920's. It was George Beauchamp who first invented the electrically amplified guitar and Adolph Richenbacher (Rickenbacker) first manufactured them in 1932. Les Paul then had the chance to make some of the better electric guitars in 1936.

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.

These currents then go to a amplifier to make them louder.
Some unique characteristics of Rickenbacker guitar tones include their jangly and bright sound, distinctive chime-like quality, and the ability to cut through a mix with clarity.
