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.
