When Gibson first launched its line of Epiphone guitars in the late fifties, after buying Epiphone, new instruments were given names (except the Sheraton) of older Epiphone models. The old Broadway was an acoustic guitar, bearing no relation to this instrument
During the Kalamazoo years, Epiphone just produced two full depth electric guitars: this one and the Howard Roberts
The Broadway was reissued in 1997.
