About Epiphone Basses

For over 140 years, Epiphone has been building instruments for nearly every style of popular music. With a reputation built on hard work, craftsmanship and a never ending drive to innovate, Epiphone continues to be a brand that not only every musician knows, but every musician trusts.  While Epiphone was founded in 1873, they weren’t initially a guitar and bass company. In fact, they were more known for their banjos until 1928 when they produced their first line of guitars.

In 1957, Epiphone was bought out by their main rival Gibson, who continues to distribute the iconic brand to this day. A modern day Epiphone is built with the same levels of quality that the first models has so long ago.

The diversity of their roster of artists is a testament to these incredible instruments.
