Episode 233 - Epiphone Spirit
Once upon a time, Gibson decided to make a very special Les Paul Junior. They called it the Spirit, and put the Epiphone name on it. In fact, it was even made in the USA, right alongside its Gibson-branded brethren in the Kalamazoo, MI factory. It was identical in every way but name; even the price was similar. So much so, that when Gibson shut the Kalamazoo factory for good, the leftover Spirits were shipped to Nashviille, where “Gibson” was silkscreened right over the old “Epiphone” name on the headstock. And to this day, if you look really hard at some Spirits, you can see the Epiphone peaking out from underneath the Gibson. Enjoy!
