It wasn't invented in any year. It has evolved for centuries. Les Paul is a pioneer in the development of the solid-body electric guitar which "made the sound of rock and roll possible."

"Guitar-shaped instruments appear in stone bas-relief sculptures of the Hittites in northern Syria and Asia Minor from as far back as 1350 B.C. The word "guitar" also has origins in the Middle and Far East, deriving from "guit," the Arabic word for four and "tar," the Sanskrit word for string."
