They took a bit of "creative license" with the electric guitar.
Adolph Rickenbacher was born in Switzerland, but moved to the U.S. as a child, where he co- created (along with George Beauchamp, who was born in Texas) the first electrified guitar...which was made in the U.S.
Rickenbacher possibly retained Swiss citizenship, but definately was an American citizen.
Switzerland (as a country) did not make the first electric guitar.
They may or may not have given themselves credit for some other inventions in a way that stretched the truth.
