Founded in 1915, it is one of the top ten guitar brands, owned by Gibson Company in the United States, with good performance/affordable price, the choice of many guitar enthusiasts around the world, and a large manufacturer of stringed instruments

In 1873, at the age of 17, Epaminondas (abbreviated as Epd) was taken by his father to his factory to help make musical instruments. In 1915 Epaminondas combined his nickname with the Greek alphabet, and the first instrument bearing the Epiphone logo was born.

In the 1930s, the guitar became the dominant stringed instrument, and Gibson competed fiercely with Epiphone for orchestral and jazz guitars. During the Second World War, Epiphone went out of business, and with it the remarkable achievements it had made before the war became a thing of the past.

A few years later, Gibson's parent company, Chigaro Musical Instrument, acquired Epiphone, making it a Gibson subsidiary. In 1958, Gibson rebuilt the Epiphone line at Kalamazoo, Michigan, and the instruments produced quickly became the prestige and glory of Epiphone.

Perhaps the best proof of Epiphone's quality came in 1965 when a rock band called "The Beatles" bought three Epiphone Casinos, which they used to record many classic songs, including "Paperback Writer" and "Ticket to ride," during their 1966 tour of the United States. They also use Casino.

In addition, Paul McCartney bought an Epiphone Texan box keyboard, and it was with this box keyboard that he recorded the classic "Yesterday".

Today, Epiphone, based in Nashville, is the world's largest producer of stringed instruments, including box keyboards, electric box keyboards, box basses, electric basses, and more. In addition to the pianos, they also have loudspeakers and so on, and no other manufacturer offers a better and more selection than Epiphone.

The three main models of the Epiphone LP, Classic and Standard, are all made in the country, the two most usual models. The Classic should cost slightly less than the Standard. The main difference between the two models is that in the pickups, the body configuration is basically identical, the original form of the Classic is the LP of the 60s, and the sound is a little brighter than the Standard, and the low frequencies are not so rounded. The neck uses a thin neck in the style of the 60s, while the prototype of the Standard is an LP from the 50s, mainly using the classic round neck of the 50s, from the manufacturer's parameters, the thickness difference between the two is only about 2 mm, but the feel is obviously different.

The configuration of the Custom is higher, it is a higher grade of piano, and the production area is mainly in Korea. The pickups are also a bit more upscale. Also designed on the basis of LPs from the 50s.

As for the difference between the 50s and 60s, the main thing is the size of the neck and the choice of pickups. The '60s were more suited to the rocker's fast-playing requirements (compared to the Classic, of course, if not the Jackson's), while the '50s were more traditional and closer to the original LP design.
