Epi El Niño Ever heard of it?

 

There are a lot of questions about it on the 'net and differeing answers. From a dread to a travel sized acoustic.

 

Anybody heard of it? KSDADDY?

 

Didn't Epi have a travel sized guit tar a couple years ago? I don't think it was called El Niño

El Nino is translated as "the boy" or sometimes "the kid." The name makes sense on small guitar. In the late 80s (I think), the Epi El Nino was a travel size guitar with a single cutaway. It had a shape reminiscent of the '50's Epiphone Emperor Regent, before it was given Gibson's L5 shape.

 

It might be possible that Epi also used the name on something else, but the travel guitar is the only use of it that I know.
