Epiphone Guitars

Epiphone did not build al lot for outside brands but did build the Alkaire E-harp 10-string lap steel and more notably a few rare guitars and mandolins under the Howard and Sorrentino names. Their first electric instruments were the Electrophone and Electar names. Epiphone was bought by Gibson 1958 and many 50s Epiphones are often referred to as Gibsons.
