The "Forgotten" Holy Grail Brand: Epiphones of the '50s & '60s

While conversation around the most coveted electric guitars of the '50s and '60s largely focuses on brands like Gibson, Fender, and Gretsch, we can't sleep on another major player—Epiphone—who at one time was Gibson's largest rival. In this video, Joe takes us through the history and key models that make Kalamazoo-era Epi's some of the most desirable guitars.
