A Legacy of Excellence

Epiphone's journey began in 1873 when founder Anastasios Stathopoulos opened a small store in Smyrna, Greece, to manufacture traditional Greek instruments. In the early 20th century, the brand relocated to the United States, and since then, it has continuously refined its art of instrument making. Epiphone became part of the Gibson family in 1957, gaining access to cutting-edge technology and top-tier luthiers.

The blending of traditional craftsmanship and modern innovation has allowed Epiphone to maintain its high standards of quality over the years, producing acoustic guitars that cater to the needs of both beginners and professional musicians alike.
