No i meant ee-ba-nez. I'm guessing the words origins are spanish, and the spanish pronounciation of I is ee.

Caught...
Lay-Knee


erm...

DJDeath you're right, Ibanez were a Spanish company so it's most likely

I always pronounced warwick war-wick but a few people i know pronounce it
wor-ick

I always thought the way i said it was right, warwick is a german company, and the lovely germans tend to strongly pronunciate syllables. But then i saw an interview with ryan martine and he pronounced it wor-ick so now im wondering which way is right?

Well if it is Spanish it would probably be more like ee-ba-nes, right? I don't think hard "z"s are common in Spanish, are they?

z=th

I thought it was "e-piff-o-knee" a while ago, but that makes no sense a) There is another music brand called "Epifani" pronounced like that, and b) "e-piff-o-knee" is almsot how you pronounce "epiphany".

[QUOTE=DJDeath]No i meant ee-ba-nez. I'm guessing the words origins are spanish, and the spanish pronounciation of I is ee.[/QUOTE]

i disagree.. origins dont equal pronounciations....
plus i havnt heard a soul call it that, always "eye" not "ee"

Its "Epi-fone"

Epi as in, nickname for the companies founder, "phone" as in sound. (telephone, phonograph, etc)

ive heard people pronounce hartke - heart key

and epiphone is most definatly not epiffoknee - its "Epi - fone" as everyone else said

It's epi-phone..... hahha thats funny.

As for Warwick, I've heard people say war-wick and wor-ick (like tis a guys name).... in my opinion its war-wick, but anyone got any clues?

i say wor-ick for the sake of thats how you pronounce the city with the same name

but the city isnt in germany, so theoretically i would deduce it should be pronounced vor-rick, or somewhere along those lines....

ive always been curious about hohner

It's hard to say.

You don't pronounce it war-wick as such....

Ah I can't type it.

Whore.

My mate from the Philipines has the coolest way of pronouncing "Ibanez", it's Ib-yan-ez with a short "i" sound like in "it".

Well, he's not exactly an amp but i've always wondered how you pronounce "Billy Sheehan"

Is it "Shee" "harn", "Sheen" or "Shee Yan"?

Shee - han. Like hand, but without the d.

For a long time I always pronounced Jaco as "Yah-ko", like it was Spanish, until I realized he's not really Mexican.

I pronounce "Sheehan", shee-uhn.

And in an artical I read, Jaco's name is pronounced Jack-o.
