Epiphany or Epi-Phone?
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.
“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.”--John Rogers |

I didn't do that myself to allow room for such tomfoolery.
Well in KK. Never miss a beat, my man.

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. |
