Actually he didn't! He is known to have invented the solid body Electric Guitar which was marketed by Gibson. He was a whiz at electronics as well as music and found a way to amplify the strings on a guitar... he call it the "log"... that was in 1939.
Les Paul invented the electric gutiar's SOLID BODY. Adolph Rickenbacker is the inventer of the first modern amplifiable electric guitar.
Paul Tutmarc invented the electrically amplified bass in 1930 and bass fiddle in 1935. He was mainly the spokesman for his Audiovox company and most of the glory went to the actual inventor of the electric guitar, George Beauchamp in 1931, later selling the patent to Adolph Richenbacher who developed the first electric guitar (Rickenbacker) in 1932.
AnswerLes Paul is a famous jazz guitarist. The Gibson Les Paul is a solid-body electric guitar, manufactured by the Gibson Guitar Corporation, named for and designed in collaboration with guitarist Les Paul. The exact extent of Paul's actual contributions is a matter of some controversy, but it appears that they do not go beyond the name and the color. An interesting point. Les Paul was working with Epiphone when the Les Paul guitar was brought it into life. He later began work with Gibson and eventually switched back with Epi.
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.
Les Paul's 'Log' was the first ever solid body electric guitar that was invented, but the first solid body guitar that was mass produced was the fender telecaster which was first known as the fender broadcaster before they changed the name. although some acoustic solid body instruments are found in folk and ethnic traditions around the world. Les Paul the guitarist invented the first solid body guitar and went to Gibson co. to show them his design. Gibson blew him off for over a decade before fender made the telecaster solid body, then Gibson came running back to Les Paul to look at his guitar. they agreed and soon after the Gibson Les Paul model electric guitar was produced, and the rest is history. but to the question the telecaster was the first to be produced but the Les Paul was the first made.
Les Paul didnt invent the electric guitar.He was only given a special custom built guitar by Gibson.
A very simple electric guitar was made in 1931 by rickenbacker i think, but les paul made the first solid body electric guitar in early 40's i think
Les Paul, may he rest in peace, was the inventor of the solid body electric guitar. Modern guitars are based on his technology.
Les Paul is credited with creating the solid body electric guitar. One of the more famous models made by Gibson Guitars still bears his name.
Les Paul invented the electric gutiar's SOLID BODY. Adolph Rickenbacker is the inventer of the first modern amplifiable electric guitar.
No.
Paul Tutmarc invented the electrically amplified bass in 1930 and bass fiddle in 1935.

Paul Tutmarc did not invent the electric bass. Leo Fender did in 1951. It was the Precision bass.
interesting fact he didn't invent it , he designed the les paul which is the most popular guitar for whatever reason as on todays standards gibson is obsolete. in 1931 an American man by the name George Beauchamp created the first electric guitar in California for the company Rickenbacker and has the patent for it.
