For those of you that have an interest in music, we can relate. We have been into music for many years and learning about different musical instruments can be very exciting. One guitar that has really caught our eye is the Epiphone Electric Guitar. Have you ever heard of this guitar? If you haven't, don't worry, because we are about to give you a big of history on it.

We believe this guitar started out in Greece, which is where the Anastasios Stathopoulos started making the stringed instruments, such as the lutes, violens, mandolins and the lioutos. From here, the family moved to Asia, but later fled to New York.

When they moved to New York, they inherited a business making instruments. During the early stages of the business, they purchase a company called the House of Stathopoulos. It was later changed to Epiphone. It became known as the Epiphone Banjo Company.

During the year 1931, Ephiphone launched their first line of guitar. In fact, they had a full line of the archtop style of guitar, which is popular in blues and jazz players. After they launched this line of guitars, they became one of the biggest guitar companies. Gibson, of course was their main rival.

Epi, the owner died of leukemia and things changed. In his will, he left his business to Orphie, who was his brother as well as Frixo, who was his other brother. In due time, the two brothers got into an argument and Frixo decided to sale his half of the stocks in the company. After this, Epiphone went through some hard time both because of poor management and because of the war that was going on.

Fate changed for this company during the year 1857 when Gibson's parent company, Chicago Musical instrument decided to purchase the company.

Today, the company is known for being a subdivision of Gibson. However, it has its own original line that still exists. Epiphone not only has a line of acoustic guitars, but they also have a line of electric guitars.

On their website, they list a lot of players that use their guitars. Some of those players include Moby, Glen Maxey, Paul McCartney, Tom Peterson, Chris Chaney and Marty Roe. It does not specify if they play the electric guitar or the acoustic. There is no denying that the epiphone electric guitar has come a long way and will continue making it big.
