[Malcolm Rockwell]

Pardon the typos. My fingers wanted a day off.
Here's the corrected copy:

Okay, so what you have here (see ad) is an amplified acoustic guitar/banjo/mandolin/banjo-mandolin, etc., which is a far cry from an electric instrument. It's an/electrified/  instrument. The first commercial/electric/  instrument, where each strings vibrations were used by a transducer to form an electrical signal, which then went to an amplifier, was manufactured by Rickenbacker and was a lap-style "fry-pan" style Hawaiian steel guitar.

The record that is considered to be the first example of this type of electric guitar is Vi V-92, Noi Lane Hawaiian Orchestra (electric steel guitar player unknown), "Dreams Of Aloha", recorded in NYC on Feb. 22, 1933.

Bob Dunn followed suit in c. 1934.
