Epiphany or Epi-Phone?

[Kane Knight]

Is the name Epiphone actually pronounced Ep-ee-fone? I'd alway assumed the name was a play on epiphany, had have always pronounced it as such, but I've noticed EVERYONE says it the other way.

Well in KK. Never miss a beat, my man. :D

[Kane Knight]

[The Mask]

[Fabien Barthez]

Epiph-o-ne

[Kane Knight]

Like it rhymes (sorta) with telephone. Like I said, I always figured it was a play on Epiphany, and pronounced it as such, so this phone nonsense is kinda alien to me.

E-mail them. Don't try to pretend you don't have the time to seek the truth on this one.

Eh-pee-phone

The name "Epiphone" is a combination of proprietor Epaminondas Stathopoulo's nickname "Epi" and "phone", Greek for "sound".

stolen off Wiki.

"Eh-pee-phone" is how my old guitar teacher used to pronounce it.

[Fabien Barthez]

I bet anyone a cheese sandwich KK hasn't yet emailed them.

You could take the Wiki answer, but I wouldn't expect you to, frankly.
