Before anything else, it should be reaffirmed that the word
"Epiphone", despite how real-sounding it is, is not an actual word.
It is actually a combination of the name Epaminondas "Epi"
Stathopoulo and the word "phone", which is "sound" in
Greek. The Epiphone Company is a known manufacturer of all sorts of musical
instruments, and has been around since the late eighteenth century. It has
progressed from making just guitars, to manufacturing banjos, amplifiers and
various stringed instruments. Its forte has always been its trademark Epiphone guitars, however.
