    "​This electric guitar was made by the Slingerland Musical Instrument Manufacturing Company in Chicago, Illinois, around 1936–39. It pre-dates the experimental "log" guitar of Les Paul from 1940 and is possibly the earliest commercially marketed solid body, Spanish neck electric guitar. Slingerland ceased making electric instruments in 1940, changing exclusively to production of percussion instruments. This electric guitar is a Songster Spanish style and serial #114. In a late 1930s Slingerland catalog, this electric guitar, case and amplifier sold for $150.00 ",

No.401 Songstar electric Spanish guitar
Chicago, Illinois, USA, ca.1936
Slingerland Guitars, maker
This was the first solid-bodied wooden electric Spanish guitar. With "neck-through"  
construction and a sophisticated hum-canceling pickup placing six individual coils  
under the string, this is a rare and remarkably modern guitar built by a company  
famous for its drums. It incorporated details this would be applauded as  
revolutionary some fifteen years later.
