Who Invented The Electric Guitar?

In my opinion, Leo Fender is the father of the electric guitar. Not much has changed from his original amps and electric guitars and shows you how revolutionary his designs were. Leo was brilliant in the sense that he took the time to listen and adapt to what the musicians were asking for and any critiques they had towards the gear available at the time. I've built my business on this one idea and have significantly benefited. Leo helped himself to what he believed were the best ideas out there and adapted them to his designs. These individuals played a huge role and deserve much credit as well. I will dedicate this post to some of those individuals who don't get much love in the guitar world but should.
