Why did Adolph Rickenbacker invent the guitar?

Answer 1

back in the 30s Guitars weren't as loud as say trumpets , trombones , drums or any other jazz or swing oriented instruments and I guess one thing led to another and he figured a way to make guitars louder.

he hired a man named George Beauchamp who was born in Texas and he designed the first Electric Guitar nicknamed the frying pan because of its shape. George died in 1941 of a heart attack before the guitar sales sky rocketed. He holds the patent for electric guitars amongst other things.

Answer 2

Adolph Richenbacher bought the patent to produce the guitar after George Beauchamp invented it in 1931. Adolph joined another company in 1932, began production and renamed the company to Rickenbacker in 1934.

Answer 3

He didn't. Adolph Rickenbacker financed the guitar; he did not invent it. George Beauchamp invented the electric lap steel guitar, the "Frying Pan", as a way for a Hawaiian guitar to be heard in a large venue.

Answer 4

With an invention his employee George Beauchamp made called the single coil guitar pickup which allows electricity to pass through the guitar and send back to the amplifier the sounds that it picks up on. A pickup is sort of like an ear to the guitar.
