sharkyvilla Posted Monday at 16:23 Share Posted Monday at 16:23 When I first started playing guitar I thought Epiphone was pronounced like 'epiphany', which in turn I thought was spelt 'epiphone' in the Greek style. Perhaps one for the boring thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Epiphone (/ˌɛ.pə.foʊn/) is an American musical instrument brand that traces its roots to a musical instrument manufacturing business founded in 1873 by Anastasios Stathopoulos in İzmir, Ottoman Empire, and moved to New York City in 1908. After taking over his father's business, Epaminondas Stathopoulos named the company "Epiphone" as a combination of his own nickname "Epi" and the suffix "-phone" (from Greek phon-, "voice").

He does have a great voice, he's also a grade A arsehole and his pimply head band are shit but... If you want the actual good original version of Holding Back the Years search on that YowChoob for the Frantic Elevators version, when he was much less of an arse. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Your critical thinking issue is purely personal in that you're skating close to the edge with long term health for a pension pot. As such your risk is your own, you don't appear to have dependents, you're not dragging anyone else down, and I genuinely hope it works out well for you.
