The Epiphone Company was founded in 1873 by Anastasios Stathopoulos. It was purchased in 1957 by the Chicago Music Company, owners of the Gibson Guitar Corporation. Epiphone was Gibson's main rival in the archtop market and their quality archtops-the Emperor, Deluxe, Broadway and Triumph-rivaled (and some contend surpassed) those of Gibson. They also produced professional quality acoustics, basses and banjos. |

The Gretsch company got a relatively early start with electric guitar production, selling their first models by 1939. However, it wasn't until 1954 that Gretsch became a major player in the electric market. The Electro-II was renamed the Country Club and steadily gained popularity. Two models that stand out the most from this time period of Gretsch are the 6120 Chet Atkins and the White Falcon. Gretsch has enjoyed a position as one of Americas classic guitar companies ever since. |

Introduced in 1952, the Fender Twin featured a 2x12" speaker configuration, tweed covering, and two 6L6 power tubes supplying 25 watts of power. In '58, Fender boosted the power output to 80 watts with a quad of 5881 output tubes. Known as the "high power" Twin, these models have become the most sought after by both players and collectors. In 1963, Fender added reverb to the design and the Twin Reverb was born. Throughout the years, the ever-popular Twin has had many versions, including the Twin Reverb, Twin Reverb II, Red Knob Twin (often referred to as the "evil Twin"), and, most recently, the '65 reissue. |

Starting it's life as a 1x12 combo in 1955, the Fender Tremolux was changed to a 1x10" piggyback head/cab configuration in 1961. A second 10" speaker was added in late '62 and remained standard until 1966 when Fender discontinued the model. The sweet cleans and gritty overdrive that characterized the Fenders amp of that period and it's striking piggyback style have made the rare tremolux a prize for both players and collectors. |

James Ormston Burns was born in England in 1925 and following World War II became involved in making guitars. In the late '50s he was part of Burns-Weill, making some of the earliest production guitars in England. In '60 he founded his own company, Ormston Burns Ltd., which began selling guitars branded "Burns London." Among his most endearing guitar designs were the pointy, horned Bison and a guitar made for Hank Marvin, England's answer to the Ventures. |

Fender introduced the Precision Bass (P-Bass) in 1951. The P-Bass was the first electric bass and was a smash hit. The Precision bass included a Slab double cut away ash body, a single coil pickup, one piece 34" neck (Maple). The early Pbass also featured large Kluson tuning machines heads. These were later replaced by conventional geared tuning machines. In 1957 the pickup was upgraded to a split double coil pickup and a wider head stock was added. |

Developed by Leo Fender and launched in 1950, the Broadcaster was soon changed to Telecaster to avoid confusion with the name of a drum model produced by Gretsch. During a short interval, It had no model designation on the headstock, hence the term "nocaster". It has remained a staple of the Fender line for nearly 60 years. |

Although introduced in 1952, the Gibson Les Paul didn't receive the official definition of "standard" until 1960. Built with a maple capped mahogany body and two PAF humbuckers, the standard would become the most desired and valuable electric guitar in history. Played by the likes of Duane Allman and Jimmy Page, it has truly become the "standard" rock/blues/jazz instrument. |

Launched in 1957, the 4000 series were the first Rickenbacker bass guitars. The 4000 was followed by the very popular 4001 (in 1961), the 4002 (limited edition bass introduced in 1977, only 100 or so models were produced), the 4008 (an 8-string model introduced in the mid-1970s), the 4003 (in 1979, replacing the 4001 entirely in 1986 and still in production in 2008), and most recently the 4004 series. |

Introduced in 1956, the Vibrolux originally featured a single 10" speaker, tweed covering, and Fender's lush vibrato circuitry. By early '61, the speaker was upgraded to a more robust 12" and Fender's new brown tolex replaced the tweed covering. As with most Fender combos of the day, it was fitted with a reverb tank in '64 and rechristened the Vibrolux Reverb. |

Since its introduction in 1961, there have been numerous models that have carried the SG name. There have been "Standard" and "Jr" model, as well as the top of the line "Custom". Originally, the guitar was called Gibson Les Paul SG, but the "Les Paul" was dropped in late 1961. The SG has been used by many prominent musicians over the years, most notably Angus Young of AC/DC and Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath. Gibson has offered different variations and finishes on the basic SG body style and continues to manufacture the original designs as well as special editions. |

Due to falling Les Paul sales, Gibson redesigned the Les Paul in 1960. For the next two years, Les Pauls hade the body style we now associate with the SG. Although popular, Les Paul himself didn't care for it. The name was officially changed to SG (solid guitar) in 1963. |

The Gibson ES-345 was introduced in 1959, and it represented an attempt to both make an upgrade to the ES-335. It featured new innovations such as Varitone Switch, Stereo capability and an optional Vibrato. The Gibson Company hoped that these additional upgrades would increase sales, and ultimately its share of the electric guitar market at the time. The original ES-345 was a fabulous guitar, and it was the model that blues great B.B. King favored prior to his switching to the Gibson ES-355.

Introduced in 1936, the Gibson ES-150 guitar is generally recognized as the world's first commercially successful Spanish-style electric guitar. The ES stands for Electric Spanish, and it was designated 150 because it cost $150, along with an EH-150 amplifier. It was an immediate hit in jazz orchestras of the period. Unlike the usual acoustic guitars utilized in jazz, it was loud enough to take a more prominent position in ensembles. |

The original Fender Pro (short for Professional) was manufactured from 1947 through 1965. It featured a single 15" speaker and excelled at warm, jazzy tones. In 1965, reverb was added and the speaker configuration was changed to 2x12". This new style was appropriately dubbed the Pro Reverb and became a great low powered alternative to the popular Twin reverb. |

Founded in 1946 by Lowell Kiesel, the L.C. Kiesel Company was officially renamed "Carvin" in '49 (Lowell combined the names of his sons, Carson and Gavin). Early instruments were made by Lowell Kiesel, but Carvin also sold rebranded guitars made by Harmony and Kay. In the 1960s Carvin built most guitars from mainly Hofner components, before returning to manufacturing their own instruments in the 1970s. |

If there were a Mt. Rushmore for guitar amps, the Vox AC models would definitely be carved in stone. The AC15 and AC30 models (Named for their respective wattages) were the sound of the British Invasion; In fact, The Beatles were contractually obliged to use Vox amps onstage exclusively. The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Animals, The Yardbirds, and, later, Brian May, the Edge, Rory Gallagher, Mike Campbell, and Pete Townsend, all made good use of the Class-A AC30's signature growl and jangle. Every studio has one (or needs one). |

Never off the Gibson production line, the extraordinary ES-335 family has withstood the test of time for nearly 50 years. The instrument that started as an eye-popping anomaly of Gibson innovation has gone on to set a standard for form, function, and style. From gritty blues, to swinging jazz, to roaring rock 'n' roll and punk, the ES-335 can do it all.
