A wonderful clever man - but no one person can truly be said to have invented the "electric " guitar. Mention has to be made of Leo Fender, Rickenbacker and several other pioneers

yes yes. He was one of the first to experiment with solid body electric guitars. First with microphones and later he invented the "log guitar". Les paul all the way. I have a cheap stratocaster copy at home, but what I really want is either the brian may "red special" or more probably the gibson les paul model :D

He didn't invent the electric guitar. He invented the "solid body" electric guitar as a way to get rid of the feedback that occurred with the electric arch-top guitars of the time. He also created multi-track recording.

I'm a fan, since the fifties, when his first record (how high the moon) came to France...This guy is a giant, he is at the end of something, and at the beguining of something else...the way he plays guitar is very influenced by Django Reinhardt, don't forget it...
