His son - Epaminondas (known as "Epi") then the company and after the end of World War I the company began to make the then popularBanjos. The guitars were done first by the company until 1928, the year before the collapse of Wall Street.
EPI died in 1943, towards the end of World War II, then his two brothers in the control of the company. However, they were not so equipped with companies such as Epi and the company was eventually bought by Gibson, its main competitor, in 1957.
In 1970, the Epiphone Les Paul Standard guitar began to be produced in Japan, then in the 1980The main manufacturing industries in Korea, where the emphasis is on producing a cheaper version of the classic Gibson model. But the Epiphone guitars exclusively in China was built.
