After the huge success of the Epiphone Collection Inspired by Gibson and its electric guitars—a series focused on creating official replicas of Gibson guitars at a more affordable price—Epiphone is now taking things one step further by presenting a new lineup inspired by the highly sought-after Gibson Custom Shop.
You heard that right: Epiphone guitars inspired by the Custom Shop!
Compared directly to the original Inspired by Gibson series, the Custom Shop Collection goes a step beyond, offering even more premium recreations of legendary Gibson guitars. Epiphone raises the bar and brings greater attention to detail in terms of authenticity, appearance, sound, and feel. This is also reflected in the use of original Gibson elements and dimensions, as well as pickups and electronic components from the popular Gibson Pickup Shop, plus elaborate VOS finishes.
Looking ahead, it’ll be exciting to see what releases Epiphone and Gibson still have up their sleeves. The catalog of legendary Gibson models certainly leaves plenty of room for speculation—and a lot of exciting instruments to come.
When you think of Epiphone , you immediately think of Gibson, as the manufacturer of guitars, basses, amplifiers and accessories has been part of the company since 1957. Epiphone mainly offers instruments from the low to mid-price segment. This means that beginners also have the opportunity to buy electric guitar and bass classics such as Les Paul, SG, Explorer, Firebird, ES-335 or Thunderbird for little money. There are also instruments from the old days of Epiphone, Casino, Wildkat, Riviera and Wilshire. Beginners should take a closer look at Epiphone 's entry-level sets in the areas of electric guitar, western guitar and electric bass.
