Epiphone Inspired by Gibson custom
Even closer to the original!
After the great success of the Epiphone Collection Inspired by Gibson and electric guitars , which is about creating official replicas of Gibson guitars at a lower purchase price, Epiphone is now going a little further and presenting a new series, the coveted Gibson custom shop was inspired.
You heard that right, Epiphone guitars inspired by the custom!
In direct comparison with the original Inspired by Gibson series, the custom shop Collection goes one step further and presents even more upscale replicas of legendary Gibson guitars.

This is also reflected in the use of original Gibson elements and dimensions , pickups and electronic components from the popular Gibson pickup shop, but also elaborate VOS finishes .
It will be interesting to see what releases Epiphone and Gibson still have in store for the future. The catalog of legendary Gibson models leaves room for speculation and some exciting models.
