Epiphone guitars are among the most popular instruments played by guitars, both amateur and professional alike. The Epiphone Company, founded in 1873 by Anastasios Stathopoulos, originally produced fiddles, lutes and mandolins, until World War I when the company started to focus on banjo production. In the late '20s, Epiphone started to make guitars, and for many years was a major competitor of Gibson in the archtop market.
The company experienced a decline following World War II and main rival Gibson was able to buy out Epiphone in 1957. After the takeover, Epiphone released their most famous model, the Casino, a hollow body notably played by Paul McCartney, John Lennon and George Harrison of the Beatles.
Presently, the company is a subsidiary of Gibson, and produces guitar that look similar to Gibson models, though sold at a significantly lower price. They also produce their own line of amplifiers.

Daily Dose of Style is back in full swing and ready to tackle on new fashion dilemmas, season standouts and much more! Today, let's take on a personal issue of mine. The problem: I'm in a wardrobe rut and have been for the past several weeks. You ever have those periods of time where you hate everything in your closet, or absolutely bored of it? Ugh! And since I'm still recovering from my holiday spending (ahem, over-spending), I can't just splurge on new clothes to solve my apparel angst. The solution: Layering! Playing with layers can produce outfits for you that feel totally new. I have to admit I haven't mastered this form of art yet. I need to schedule some playtime in my closet in fact. Look below. This is what I'm taking about. Topping your old dress with a cardigan, vest and scarf updates a once-drab dress... and makes the outfit all the more interesting! How do you layer? Tell me below! Stay tuned by the way for voguetouch Shopping's Guide to Layering coming in February!
