“The House of Stathopoulo” Turns 150!

First begun in Greece in 1873 before moving to Manhattan in 1904, Epaminondas ‘Epi’ Stathopoulo’s namesake has played a central role in every great musical era—from the mandolin craze of the early 1900s to becoming one of the fiercest competitors in the archtop market during the Jazz Age.

But, in the wake of the founder’s death in 1943, the “House of Stathopoulo” went through more than a decade of uncertainty until it was acquired by Gibson’s owners, CMI, and it began to flourish once again. Since then, the Epiphone brand name has remained a staple brand in the electric guitar market among jazz, blues, and rock musicians, alike!

The Epiphone Zephyr DeLuxe Regent was originally produced from 1948 until 1957 and was one of the world's preeminent archtop guitar designs when Epiphone was Gibson's biggest competitor. In celebration of Epiphone’s 150th anniversary, Epiphone is proud to release the new limited edition 150th Anniversary Zephyr DeLuxe Regent. Perfect for jazz, blues, and rockabilly and inspired by the highly-collectible vintage originals but updated to meet the needs of modern players, the new limited edition 150th Anniversary Zephyr DeLuxe Regent is a full hollowbody. It features a deep cutaway for improved upper-fret access, a multi-layer pressed maple arched top, and a 25.5 scale 5-piece maple and mahogany neck with an ebony fretboard. The inlays include a historic 50s-style Epiphone logo, a Tree of Life headstock inlay, and historic Epiphone Cloud fretboard position markers - all in Mother of Pearl. The electronics are equally impressive, with a pair of Epiphone NY Mini Humbucker™ pickups. Each has individual volume and tone controls with CTS® potentiometers.
