Folk Instruments

In The Beginning

The sweet melodic guitar tone, it is difficult for people to listen when he played alongside other instruments. Thus, during the decade of 1930, an inventive person determined to change that and invented the first electric guitar. I did not know or have imagined back then how the invention of the electric guitar significantly during the 20 th century music.

The first electric guitar

In 1931 the Electro String Company was founded by Paul Barth, George Beauchamp and Adolph Rickenbacker, and developed the first electric guitars for sale to the general public. They made their guitars from cast aluminum and have played on someone’s lap with a steel blade that steel guitar today. Because of their unusual material, they were affectionately called “pans.”

The first solid body electric guitar

Electric guitars were quickly becoming the standard, although there was a big problem in their construction. Their bodies would vibrate due to the speakers will be complemented by sounds he plays in, causing what we know the feedback. The obvious remedy was to build a guitar made from a solid trunk, which does not vibrate so easily.

Today’s companies, Gibson and Fender continue to produce some of the most famous and best guitars made in the electricity market. However, it is filling up with other quality brands such as BC Rich, ESP and Peavey. Innovative designs, shapes and materials are integrated with new technologies to produce better sound of electric guitars.
