Originating in the 1930s, semi-hollow body guitars have both a sound box and an electrical pickup to increase volume. Solid body Epiphone guitars are built without the traditional 'sound box' (the hollow under the strings) and rely on an electric pickup to receive the strings' vibrations. Left-handed options are available and each model comes with a range of sizes to suit both adults and children alike. Each model has a range of different editions with suitable choices from beginner to professional and performer. Other recognised examples in the Epiphone range include the Casino (three of these were purchased by the Beatles in 1964), Firebird, Alleykat, Beast, Emperor and Explorer.

Electric guitarsĮpiphone manufacture a wide range of electric guitars, including the well-known Les Paul. The same organisation had also purchased Epiphone's main rivals, Gibson, in 1944 and whilst they house the two brands separately (Gibson in the USA and Epiphone in Japan or Korea), they are now both managed under the same umbrella. Epiphone is an American musical instrument manufacturer, purchased by the Chicago Musical Instrument Company in 1957.
