He didn't. (Invent the solid body Electric Guitar.) The Rickenbacker Frying Pan, the Travis Bigsby, and Leo Fender's Broadcaster, Telecaster and Stratocaster Guitars were all mass produced and sold before the Les Paul. All of them were solid body instruments.
Here's what happened. Gibson was dismayed to see their share of the electric guitar market start to shrink because of the popularity of the Telecaster and Stratocaster, so they consulted Paul. He designed a guitar with a distinct, difficult to copy shape; Les Paul guitars have carved maple tops similar to those on acoustic archtop jazz guitars. The Gibson company, which is set up to produce those type instruments was able to build them without difficulty.
To their amazement the arched top actually affected the tone of the guitar. The rest is history.
But Les Paul did not invent the first solid body guitar, and I don't believe he actually built the first one. I believe he simply drew the plans and gave (sold) them to Gibson.
