Who made the first electric guitar?

0

William Christopher Handy once said that “guitar playing is a release, liberation, put simply it is freedom.” When the first electric guitar was made in the 1930s, critics hated it. Its sound was too different and way before its time. It took sometime for people to warm to the unique sound and once it began to be played more and more it was realized that it was more versatile than the original guitar. The rise of the electric guitar coincided with the increase in jazz orchestras. It was originally produced and designed by a collection of electronic aficionados, instrument producers and guitar manufacturers. The first electric guitar was designed by Les Paul, who experimented with microphones attached to guitars. The very first time that such a guitar was played in public was in Wichita, Kansas by Gage Brewer. Brewer received two of the instruments straight from George Beauchamp of Los Angeles, California and made them known in an article published in the Wichita Beacon, October 2, 1932
