The Epiphone Story
Epiphone was established in the Late part of the 19th century, a Greek Craftsman and violin maker
named "Anastasios Stathopoulo" (founder of Epiphone) moved his family to New
York in search of a better life. He found it and built a company that became one of the greatest names in instruments.
The "House of Stathopoulo" was opened in 1873 and
Anastasios brought his 17 year old son, Epaminodas (also
known as "Epi"), into the company in 1910. "Epi" and his father soon named some of their new instruments Epiphone
and the legend began.
After 47 years of Epiphone production, Gibson USA
acquired the rights to the Epiphone name in 1957 and began to build Epiphone's
in 1959. Under the guidance of Gibson USA, Epiphone continues to set new
standards for quality, value and innovation.

Control Knobs and Switches
Your Epiphone electric guitar is capable of producing a variety of sounds by manipulating
the controls.
Volume Controls
The volume knobs, an all models, control the amount of volume each pickup is putting
out. Turning the control clockwise produces more volume. Turning the control counter clockwise produces less volume.
Tone Controls
The tone controls on all models are "Treble Cut" controls. This means that as you turn
the knob counterclockwise you reduce the treble output of that pickup and produce a darker
tone. Turning the control fully clockwise will produce the brightest sound.
This means that
the pickups full range of harmonic frequencies are being passed on to your amplifier.
Selector Switch
The Selector Switch permits you to turn pickups on and off. On most guitars with two
pickups, the middle position turns both pickups on. When the switch is "up" the neck or "Rhythm" pickup only is turned on. When the switch is "down" only the bridge or "Treble" pickup is turned on.
