Epiphone: The Complete History

by Walter Carter

Read the fascinating story of a family business that fell on hard times, was saved by a former competitor, and eventually enjoyed a time as the manufacturer of the best-selling brand of guitars in the world. Guitar historian Walter Carter's sixth book reveals the history of this premier guitar company from 1873 to today, detailing the glory years of the 1930s, the Gibson/USA era in the 60s, and the modern age of Japanese/Korean production. Features a collector's reference section with model histories and serial number lists, interviews with important Ephiphone artists, and over 150 photos, including a 16-page color section.
