Origin of Electric Guitar

Then the history of the electric guitar began in 1930, when a man named George Beauchamp began looking for ways to increase the volume of the guitar appereance. Unknown if a wire in the given magnetic field, it can create an electrical current. On the basis of this thinking He researched and conducted an experiment with a gramophone needle (basically this technology can be found in electric motors, generators, needle gramophone, radio and mic). He believes that if the guitar strings vibrated close to the magnetic field will be converted into electrical currents and then converted back into sound waves through speakers. After months of trial and in collaboration with Paul Barth then created a simple first pickup consists of 6 poles and each pole of each string. Pickup contains neatly rolled coils. According to the story, He took the coil of a washing machine and melilitnya back with a sewing machine motor. This discovery greatly appreciated and obtain patents, ancestry.

With this discovery the next step He is looking for people who are willing to cooperate and help in the matter of funding. He contacted his friend Adolph Rickenbacher first at the National String Instrument Company, where she worked. They worked together and formed a company with the name Instrumens Rickenbachers. Eventually they began producing the first electric guitar called "The Frying Pan" (possibly due to the guitar body is made of the pan). This makes their company written in history as the first factory to make and produces electric guitars.

Furthermore, a man named Lloyd Quill Loar introduced the electric guitar Spanish guitar-shaped model. He is considered the first developing and marketing this model guitar. He has conducted these experiments began early in 1920 and in 1933 set up a company by the name of Vivi Tone which is a subsidiary of Gibson Company. The company manufactures electric guitar with Spanish guitar shape but in a year the company is not successful.

From this failure, eventually inspire Gibson Company to try to continue creating an electric guitar. Of the efforts undertaken it creates ES-150 electric guitar that would become a pioneering electric guitars next. TIRES
