The electric guitar overturned 20th-century music. Leo Fender (Telecaster, Stratocaster) and Gibson, with input from guitarist Les Paul (Les Paul, 1952), created models in the 1950s that remain the standard today. With distortion (saturated signal clipping) and effects (wah-wah, chorus, delay, reverb), the sound can be transformed beyond recognition.
Electric-guitar legends: Jimi Hendrix, who rethought the instrument's very nature; Eric Clapton, David Gilmour (Pink Floyd), Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin). On the Ukrainian rock scene, the electric guitar is the core of Vopli Vidopliasova, Okean Elzy, Skriabin, Druha Rika, and younger bands like 1914 and Stoned Jesus.
