the first electric guitar
FRYING PAN (AROUND 1931)
Working with a man named Adolph Rickenbacker, George Beauchamp was the first to produce an electromagnet pickup and new lap steel that developed into the first electrified guitar. Within this guitar, there was an electric current that produced sound, and this current passed through a coil wire located in the pickup. This wire was wrapped around a magnet, thus creating a field that amplified the strings' vibrations. Known as the Frying Pan, this guitar began to be known as the first electric guitar that was commercially viable because of the electric pickups within it. Despite being created around 1931, this was not patented until later in the 1930s.
