The original Epi line was a sub-budget line of acoustic flat-tops that appeared briefy in 1979. These guitars were made by the Marina company in Taiwan, in the city of Chaunyin. The model A-12 appeared only in the January 15 and June 1, 1979 Epiphone catalogs as an "Epi Student Guitar", part of the "A-Series Folk Models" that included the A-10.
