Mr. Les Paul made another E-Guitar, and he is a Hero.

 

BUT - Much earlier, 1932, Mr. Rickenbacher was another Hero for the E-Guitar!

 

By the time production ceased in 1939, several thousand frying pans had been produced.

During the early 1940s, Rickenbacker amps were sometimes repaired by fellow Californian Leo Fender, whose repair shop soon evolved into the Fender Electric Instrument Manufacturing Company.

During the 1960s, Rickenbacker benefited tremendously when a couple of Rickenbacker guitar models became permanently intertwined with the sound and look of the most popular band of the era  The Beatles.

 

And Mr. Rickenbacker aka Rickenbacher was from

Switzerland! He settled to Los Angeles 1918.
