Epiphone guitars started in 1873 in the Ottoman Empire which is now Turkey. The name "Epiphone" is a combination of proprietor Epaminondas Stathopoulos' nickname "Epi" and "phone" (from Greek phon-, "sound"/"voice") They began making banjos, mandolins and guitars and in 1903 Epamindondas moved to the United States. Such was the quality of his instrument crafting that towards the 1960s Gibson began to take notice and ended up buying out Epiphone. Epiphone has been a subsidiary of the Gibson Guitar corporation since 1957 and makes some of the finest guitars in a price range that will astound you. They make amazing reproductions of famous Gibson models including the Les Paul, SG, ES-335, ES-137, ES-339 and many more. Read more

Simple doesn't have to mean boring. The Epiphone Les Paul Junior is the guitar that shaped a generation. Originally built to give students and workers the key to creativity, the Junior has since taken on a new cult following. From rock to surf, blues to indie, this is an axe that has gained respect. And it's easy to see why. The Les Paul Junior gets its signature tone from a single Dogear P90 pickup. Discover a full range of timbres that go from clean and crisp to crunchy and chaotic. All with pick attack alone. This is simplicity redefined. Stomping lows. Glassy highs. And everything in between. The Junior's secret weapon is its versatility. Though it may look modest, the P90 bridge pickup offers the same high output bite you love about humbuckers, but with added sparkle and chime. There's a reason why this design has stood the test of time. Read more

Epiphone's '60s SlimTaper mahogany neck supplies ample comfort and sustain in the hand.
