  4. Electric Guitars 1931 The earliest electric guitars were made by the “Rickenbacker" company 1950 While one of the first solid-body guitars was invented by Les Paul, the first commercially successful solid-body electric guitar was the Fender Esquire

  5. Electric Guitars 1952 As the market developed, Gibson produced the Les Paul 1954 Fender brought out the 3 pickup Stratocaster (known as Strat), a deluxe model. The next breakthrough was the work of Seth Lover and Walter Fuller who created the humbucking pickup. It grew out of the needs of Radio broadcast and recording where, as to this day, quieter is better.

  6. Electric Guitars 1957 Gibson entered into regular production on Les Paul guitars At that point the essence of the modern electric guitar was in place.

  7. Electric Guitars 1960s Some guitarists began exploring a wider range of tonal effects by distorting the sound of the instrument. 1967 guitarist Jimmy Page of created unusual, psychedelic sound effects by playing the electric guitar with a violin bow and smacking the strings with the bow.

  8. Electric Guitars 1970s Effects pedals proliferated 1980s and 1990s Digital and software effects became capable of replicating the analog effects used in the past. 2000s PCs with specially designed sound cards could be used as digital guitar effects processors. Although digital and software effects offer many advantages, many guitarists still use analog effects.

  9. Electric Guitars 2002 Gibson announced the first digital guitar, which performs analog-to-digital conversion internally. 2003 Amp maker Line 6 released the Variax guitar. It has an onboard computer capable of modifying the sound of the guitar to model the sound of many instruments.

  14. Drawing Tablet A Drawing Tablet is a computer input device that allows one to hand-draw images and graphics, similar to the way one draws images with a pencil and paper. These tablets may also be used to capture data of handwritten signatures.

  15. Drawing Tablet Following is an example to another form of aesthetic expression – a Photoshop painting-like portrait. The input is a portrait photograph, which will be manipulated using Photoshop. The drawing tablet will be used to trace the face contours, as an additional layer, on top of the original photo. Then, some layers can be added with different colors and opacity to create the desired result.
