About Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom

Nach dem groĂźen Erfolg der Epiphone Collection Inspired by Gibson und E-Gitarren, bei der es darum geht, offizielle Nachbauten von Gibson Gitarren zum kleineren Anschaffungspreis zu erschaffen, geht Epiphone nun noch ein StĂĽckchen weiter und präsentiert eine neue Reihe, die vom begehrten Gibson Custom Shop inspiriert wurde.

Ihr habt richtig gehört, Epiphone Gitarren die vom Custom Shop inspiriert wurden!

Im direkten Vergleich mit der ursprünglichen Inspired by Gibson Serie, geht die Custom Shop Collection noch einen Schritt weiter und präsentiert noch gehobenere Repliken legendärer Gitarren aus dem Hause Gibson. Epiphone legt die Messlatte höher und schenkt bei der Fertigung den Merkmalen: Authentizität, Aussehen, Klang und Haptik mehr Detailtreue. Dies spiegelt sich ebenfalls in der Verwendung von originalen Gibson-Elementen und -Abmessungen, Tonabnehmern und Elektronikbauteilen aus dem beliebten Gibson Pickup-Shop, aber auch aufwendigen VOS-Finishes wider.

Für die Zukunft darf man gespannt sein welche Releases Epiphone und Gibson noch in der Rückhand haben. Der Katalog an legendären Gibson-Modelle lässt jedenfalls Raum für Spekulationen und einige spannende Modelle.
