The Epiphone guitar company was headed by Epimanondas Stathopoulo the the early 1900's. Later on, the parent company of Gibson guitars bought Epiphone. Now, Epiphone makes affordable (but strong) guitars based around the Gibson guitar lineup, as well as having a few of their own models.
A company that is owned by gibson. Epiphone sells the sameguitars as gibson but its cheaper. So if want a guitar that is made by gibson but is too expensive get the epiphone its cheaper.
