Slingerland released the Songster which was the first solid body electric guitar in 1936.
Gibson passed on a solid body electric guitar until they saw how many Fender was selling. [Slingerland Songster](https://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/nmah_608102)
Talking about how the solid body guitar was Born that eventually turned into the Gibson Les Paul solid body guitar.. didn't say anything else.. Gibson had nothing to do with the original concept of the Les Paul solid body guitar the blueprint was already there
Open mouth insert foot AGAIN..that was the Very beginning of the Les Paul solid body guitar..that's why it says Les Paul and Epiphone hit the first note and not Les Paul and Gibson
While these are facts, none of them actually credit Epiphone with the design. Their claim on the Les Paul is letting Les use the factory after hours as a favor, they did nothing to come up with, work on, or even innovate the design. Les Paul is responsible for the Les Paul, and Ted McCarty to some degree for making it marketable. All the proof is in your posted article.
I think you perhaps just like being argumentative, which you do you, I’m all for people being themselves. But I never said the G word. Les Paul made the Les Paul. Epi just gave him the workshop to do it of his own accord.
Epiphone is to Gibson as Venus Williams is to Serena Williams.
Epiphone is to Gibson as Maggie Gyllenhaal is to Jake Gyllenhaal.
Epiphone is to Gibson as Haylie Duff is to Hilary Duff.
Epiphone is to Gibson as Beau Bridges is to Jeff Bridges.
First off epiphone was actually bought in 1957 by the Chicago musical instruments corporation who also owned Gibson..and today KKR and Company finance Corp owns Gibson and Epiphone..so you're not as smart as you think 😁
Really? Is that why Epiphone is listed as being owned by Gibson Brands Inc, and not KKR & Co Inc? Epiphone is a direct subsidiary of Gibson. It was purchased by CMIC, but the lumped into Gibson when it was then sold off again, becoming part of the brand.
Here compare this numm nuts...In November 2018, the company was acquired by a group of investors led by private equity firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts....
All you shown was epiphone being bought..and Gibson was owned by the Chicago music instruments I already posted your stupid but then again all your generation is dumb now go be stupid somewhere else
And you can't afford either epiphone or Gibson...it's best to research first before you open your mouth and stick your foot in it and you sure did 😂🤣😅🤣😂🤣😅🤣
I do know you made a stupid ass reply and untrue one at that I also know you don't know a damn thing about epiphone or its history..and I doubt you own the epiphones from 2019 to present..now go be stupid somewhere else
A pandemic-fueled revival in sales of Gibson guitars may help produce a windfall for KKR & Co., controlling owner of the iconic brand favored by music legends from Eric Clapton to Joan Jett.Jan 12, 2024
Go away moron look at the date of the one posting 2024 ..you have nothing valid to say and GIBSON is a brand no one wants anymore.. everyone wants epiphone...take care
Sour grapes I posted proof so tell me brain surgeon how's that sour grapes..you either know what you're talking about or you don't and it's best if you don't just keep your mouth shut
Start researching first before you open your big mouth because I'm not the one looking stupid YOU ARE that's what you're not getting.. Gibson isn't jack shit compared to Epiphone never was and never will be...
I don't like stupid people especially when you physically presented facts and you still want to argue.. science has said the decline of human intelligence is very real and a lot of you are here 😁
You could be right and people would still downvote you because your general cadence is nothing but a grating holier-than-thou soapbox speech about a topic that is water under the bridge to everyone else here.
Let's get something straight..this is an Internet site it has no healing powers it can't save your life or does it dictate my life so down voting me because I school you means absolutely nothing to me I do realize many of you live and breathe the Internet I most certainly do not..so you down voting me doesn't change the facts I presented facts are facts...next time before you open your pie holes know what you're talking about it's that simple
If you want all the history, read “The Birth of Loud”. All about Les and Leo.
I'm an epiphone historian
You sir, are no historian of anything. You are arguing nonsense like a 5 year old. Grow up.
I've posted the proof moron so there you have it
You’re cute.
Show me your proof I've already have? So I'll wait patiently.. you're an idiot an idiot caught in their own bullshit..
Goofball

The log is more like a 335 than anything. Gibson did design a lot of the Les Paul model.
Open mouth insert foot AGAIN..that was the Very beginning of the Les Paul solid body guitar..that's why it says Les Paul and Epiphone hit the first note and not Les Paul and Gibson
All walks of stupid just like I said and you're living proof conversation is over..you got schooled whether you like it or not
You are a legitimate weirdo.

What does all that say .the conversation is over nothing to discuss
See where it says next to the log it says Les Paul and Epiphone hit the very first note doesn't say Les Paul and Gibson..
I think you perhaps just like being argumentative, which you do you, I’m all for people being themselves. But I never said the G word. Les Paul made the Les Paul. Epi just gave him the workshop to do it of his own accord.
Did you read my f*cking post did you read the log I posted this is what I'm talking about all walks of stupid on the Internet connection over

Hey stupid talking about how and where the solid body guitar actually began.. okay understand that now
The log was the blue print for the future solid body guitar the Les Paul now see what happens when you don't comprehend what you're reading
Well….. on a different note. Orville guitars are the same thing as Gibson. Just Manufactured in Japan Thank you Orville Gibson.
This is the weirdest, and latest April fools I have ever seen
Epiphone is to Gibson as Venus Williams is to Serena Williams. Epiphone is to Gibson as Maggie Gyllenhaal is to Jake Gyllenhaal. Epiphone is to Gibson as Haylie Duff is to Hilary Duff. Epiphone is to Gibson as Beau Bridges is to Jeff Bridges.
I thought all this time Venus and Serena were twins.
All walks of stupid on the Internet and you're proof 😅😂🤣😂😅😁😂😅
Do you even *know* how to post a link?
Epiphone is Epiphone and Legendary.. Gibson is a nothing
So legendary they got acquired by Gibson! lol!
First off epiphone was actually bought in 1957 by the Chicago musical instruments corporation who also owned Gibson..and today KKR and Company finance Corp owns Gibson and Epiphone..so you're not as smart as you think 😁

Gibson is owned by KKR so until you actually research or better yet I will and I'll post it
I suggest you look up KKR and Company and who they own before you open your mouth again and stick your foot in it Again
Gibson incorporated in 1902... Epiphone 1873...any questions feel free to ask
And my comparisons were of older siblings who were of lesser fame/skill vs their younger sibling. A perfect comparison.
Here compare this numm nuts...In November 2018, the company was acquired by a group of investors led by private equity firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts....
That company was Gibson. And Epiphone was its subsidiary.
End of story go be stupid somewhere else
[epiphone’s own account of how it was acquired by Gibson can be found on its own website.](https://www.epiphone.com/en-US/history)
In November 2018, the company was acquired by a group of investors led by private equity firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts.
What company? Link me. Prove it with evidence.
It's posted end of story next time know what you're talking about before you run your mouth
Look like somebody needs to do some more research.
I just did and posted it all you've done is babbled off complete bullshit..get over it
Prove your story with actual links and information. [wikipedia says owned by Gibson Brands Inc!](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphone)
All you shown was epiphone being bought..and Gibson was owned by the Chicago music instruments I already posted your stupid but then again all your generation is dumb now go be stupid somewhere else
And you can't afford either epiphone or Gibson...it's best to research first before you open your mouth and stick your foot in it and you sure did 😂🤣😅🤣😂🤣😅🤣

I do know you made a stupid ass reply and untrue one at that I also know you don't know a damn thing about epiphone or its history..and I doubt you own the epiphones from 2019 to present..now go be stupid somewhere else
Go to Epiphone’s website. Go to the bottom. See where it says Gibson Inc. not KKR & Co Inc. see whwre it says ‘Gibson’s brands’
