Epiphone Electric Guitar

Epiphone is one of America's oldest and most revered instrument makers. Founded in the late 19th century, it initially rose to prominence as a premier manufacturer of banjos and archtop guitars. Since its acquisition in the mid-20th century, it has served as the primary brand for affordable, high-quality alternatives to premium American-made instruments.

Today, Epiphone is recognized for producing authorized versions of iconic designs like the Les Paul and SG. While the historical roots of the brand are firmly planted in New York, modern manufacturing is globalized to maintain accessibility. High-volume production is concentrated in specialized facilities in Asia, particularly China and Indonesia, where the brand maintains its own dedicated factory to ensure quality control standards meet the requirements of its parent company.
