Yes, the most popular branch of Gibson is Epiphone. These are great Guitars! Tobias and Baldwin are other favorite that�s under the Gobson name. Signature Les Pauls are my absolute favorite and are built by Gibson/Epiphone. Kramer is also a Gibson name. Gibson currently has 18 additional name brands. They are like the General Motors of guitars. GM is Chevy, Cadillac, Buick, Pontiac, Saturn, Hummer, Saab, etc. etc. etc. all in one therefore a bunch of brands in one name.
