When Adolph Rickenbacker invented the fore-runner of the electric guitar in 1932, popular music changed...in a BIG way. Brought on by the advent of the big-band, the electric guitar was invented to help the band's guitar player overcome the volume of the louder brass and woodwind instruments, banjo's etc. Then came the Gypsy Jazz, the Texas Playboys twang and of course, the American R&B movement which led straight into...
Rock and Roll, baby !
You don't have to wear three cans of Hair Spray and Glow-in-the-Dark Spandex to fit in...but it helps!
Seriously though, the electric guitar has come a long way since it was first popularized in the 50's, and it still remains as not only one of music's most identifiable icons, but the world's most popular instrument! Every style, every genre. Solid-body, hollow-body, Six-string, seven-string, twelve-string, Humbuckers or single-coil pickups. Three per side or 6-in-line tuners. Built-in effects...the possibilities are endless.
