1931: The Rickenbacker “Frying Pan”

The “frying pan” had been 1st electric guitar ever produced. The tool is made in 1931 by George Beauchamp, and later produced by Rickenbacker Electro. The tool earned its title because its shape resembles a frying cooking pan: it offers an appartment, circular body, and throat represents the “handle.” It was a lap metallic electric guitar built to cash in on the popularity of Hawaiian songs through the 1930s. Beauchamp and machinist Adolph Rickenbacker started selling the frying-pan in 1932; however, Beauchamp wasn't granted a patent for his concept until 1937, an undeniable fact that permitted other electric guitar companies to create electric guitars during the same duration.
