  Epiphone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Epiphone is now a subsidiary of Gibson, somewhat like Squier is a subsidiary of Fender (the chief difference being that the Squier line of guitars was created in-house by Fender; in other words, there is no such thing as a "pre-Fender" Squier guitar).
The instruments given the Epiphone badge usually have roughly equal quality components to the Gibson ones, but may not be quite as elaborately decorated (such as gold hardware on a Gibson model and chrome on an Epiphone model).
The original Epiphone Texan acoustic guitar was made in the early 1960s as a cheaper version of the Gibson J-45 model, and was available in a sunburst finish or - as the one purchased by Paul McCartney - in a blond finish.

If you were an Epiphone fan, it is hard to think of these guitars as less expensive clones of Gibsons cuz at one time they were great guitars in their own right and not only the equals of acoustic and hollow body electric Gibsons but in some cases surpassed them.

The body style is like the Gibson Firebird VII, they just slapped the Epiphone name on it.
