Les Paul built his first electric guitar in 1941, but he is most well-known for the Gibson Les Paul, which debuted in 1952."It grew out of his desire, as a musician and inventor, to create a stringed instrument that could make electronic sound without distorting," the Hall of Fame said. "What he came up with, after almost a decade of work, was a solid bodied instrument—that is, one that didn't have the deep, resonant chamber of an acoustic guitar."
Gibson Guitars, however, initially rejected Paul, referring to his creation as a "broomstick with pickups." The company was skeptical that musicians would want to carry around both an acoustic and electric guitar. As a result, Leo Fender beat Paul to the market in 1948 with his electric guitar, the Fender Broadcaster.
