Thursday March 15th, 2001 Epiphone is taking it to the 'E' with new designs, rocket-charged classics Just in time for Spring 2001, music instrument maker Epiphone has unveiled a new highly fashion-oriented line, offering high performance, high energy instruments with unique body shapes, super-fast necks, cool finishes, and superbly bad attitude on Epiphone's new site at www.epiphone.com. Called the "E Series" this exciting new line draws from Epiphone and Gibson's rich heritage, combining the best of classic instruments with brand new designs exclusive to Epiphone. Within the new "E Series" are five new product lines--the Hard Body Series, the Polyester Series, the Nuclear Collection, the USA Collection, and the Galaxy Amp Collection. Each offers new instruments with exciting new colors and designs that match perfectly with today's more aggressive playing style. Says Henry Juszkiewicz, Chairman and CEO of Gibson, "The launch of the E Series is an important milestone in the hundred-year history of Epiphone, resulting in an exciting new direction for the company. By updating classic instruments with the hottest electronics, dramatic finishes, string-through body designs, and new headstocks and logos, as well as designing completely new and exclusive instruments, Epiphone's new "E Series" will prove to be perfect for today's young musicians looking for high energy sound with fashionable looks to match."
