History of Epiphone bass guitars
House of Stathopoulo
The "House of Stathopoulo" was opened in 1873 and Anastasios
brought his 17 year old son Epaminondas (or "Epi" for short)
into the company to help him produce his highly sought-after instruments.
In 1915, Epaminondas combined his nickname "Epi" with the Greek
word for sound which is "phone" and the first instrument bearing
the Epiphone name was born. In the 1930's, with the guitar as the dominant
stringed instrument, Epiphone and Gibson became fierce rivals in the "orchestra"
and jazz guitar arena. During World War II, however, Epi died and the
company lost the prominence which it had during the prewar years.
Epiphone and Gibson Merge
After several years of mis-direction, Gibson's parent company, Chicago
Musical Instruments, bought Epiphone and made it a division of Gibson.
In 1958, Gibson introduced a revamped Epiphone line, made by Gibson workers
in Kalamazoo, Michigan. These instruments immediately restored the respect
and prestige of the Epiphone brand name.
The Beatles
Perhaps one of the greatest testimonials of this occurred in 1965 when
a rock and roll group from Liverpool, England known as "The Beatles"
purchased 3 Epiphone Casinos. Up until their breakup in 1970, The Beatles
used their Casinos to record many classics including "Paperback Writer"
and "Ticket to Ride. Their Epiphone Casinos were their primary instruments
during their last tour of the US in 1966. Additionally, Paul McCartney
purchased an Epiphone Texan acoustic guitar. This Texan was used to record
the most popular and most recorded song of all time - "Yesterday".
