After the great success of the Epiphone Collection Inspired by Gibson and electric guitars, which set out to create official reproductions of Gibson guitars at a lower purchase price, Epiphone now goes a step further and presents a new range inspired by the coveted Gibson Custom Shop.
You heard that right, Epiphone guitars inspired by the Custom Shop!
Compared directly with the original Inspired by Gibson series, the Custom Shop Collection goes one step further and offers even more upscale replicas of legendary guitars from Gibson. Epiphone raises the bar and gives greater attention to the features of authenticity, appearance, tone and feel during production. This is also reflected in the use of original Gibson parts and dimensions, pickups and electronic components from the popular Gibson Pickup Shop, as well as elaborate VOS finishes.
Look forward to what releases Epiphone and Gibson still have up their sleeves. The catalogue of legendary Gibson models certainly leaves room for speculation and some exciting models.
When you think of Epiphone you naturally think of Gibson, since the maker of guitars, basses, amplifiers and accessories has been part of that company since 1957. Epiphone mainly offers instruments in the lower to mid price range. That means beginners can pick up electric guitar and bass classics such as Les Paul, SG, Explorer, Firebird, ES-335 or Thunderbird for little money. There are also instruments from earlier Epiphone eras like Casino, Wildkat, Riviera and Wilshire. In particular, Epiphone's beginner sets for electric guitar, acoustic guitar and electric bass are worth a close look for newcomers.
