In the late 50's, Gibson acquired Epiphone after many years of competition between the
2 companies.
Recently, Gibson built a new plant for Epiphone in Nashville, TN, next to Gibson headquarters.
With production shifting from overseas, Epiphone prices are starting to rise. The USA-made
Casino stickers for over $4,000. This is a huge jump from Epiphones that typically sell for
$500 - $1,000.
Other manufacturers like Fender and Gretsch maintain offshore brands and plants. Some
manufacturers have moved their entire operation to Tiawan, Korea, or China, maintaining US
headquarters strictly for marketing purposes.
Archtop Guitars
Archtop guitars have been around in some form or another since the 1920's. During the 30's
and 40's, archtop guitars came into prominence as a rhythm instrument in the Big Bands.
Among the biggest makers of archtop guitars were Gibson and Epiphone. Initially, both makers
turned out non-cutaway, fully acoustic models that used solid woods just like the flattops
of the time. Archtops however projected the sound differently, allowing for the guitar player
to cut through other instruments. As time went on, Both Gibson and Epiphone added electronic pickups
for amplification and a cutaway to allow guitarists easier access to upper frets.
Except for a brief division, Gibson retains ownership of the Epiphone brand
to this day. Currently the bulk of production for Epiphone guitars is off-shore, primarily
in Korea. Samick, the world's largest manufacturer of guitars, produces Epiphone products
for Gibson. Epihpones are supported in the US by Gibson.
This plant is turning out the first US made Epiphone product since the 70's. The first product
Epiphone has produced domestically is the Revolution Casino modeled after John
Lennon's famous Casino purchased back in 1964.
