The Epiphone Story

Late in the 19th Century, a Greek luthier and violin maker named Anastasios Stathopoulo moved his family to New York in search of a better life.  He found it - and built a company that became one of the greatest names in instruments.

The "House of Stathopoulo" was opened in 1873 and Anastasios brought his 17 year old son, Epaminodas (also known as "Epi" into the company and his father soon named some of their new instruments Epiphone and the legend began.

After 47 years of Epiphone production, Gibson USA, acquired the rights to the Epiphone name in 1957 and began to build Epiphones in 1959.  Under the guidance of Gibson USA, Epiphone continued to set new standards for quality, value and innovation.

Today, with dedicated Epiphone engineers, product specialists and skilled craftspeople at the USA facilities in Nashville, Tennessee and Bozeman, Montana, continue to design and set rigid quality and performance standards for each Epiphone instrument.
