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.
