Exploring the New Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom Shop Range | Guitar Interactive Magazine

Nick Jennison takes you inside the Gibson Garage in central London to showcase the latest Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom Shop range.

Nick showcases a few of his personal favourites from the new range, including the Les Paul Custom, the 1959 ES-355, the Firebird 1, the SJ-200, and the 1942 J45 Banner, highlighting how these Epiphone models rival their Gibson counterparts — especially with features like the open book headstock design and premium appointments.

The open book head-stock is way overdue. The original one is fugly. Now they need the two screw truss rod cover.

I have 3 2021 high end Epiphones videos posted on my page with the Specs so there's no debate or dispute.. happy reading..

No sg???? come on

Also 1:05 at least give it a wipe mate, looks dirty and scratched all over.

Great playing and tones though, finally someone's not afraid to crank that gain up.

Funny, that black beauty g string went out if tune after that bend at the end.. i have a 2018 Epiphone Black Beauty with the same problem its always going out out of tune, especially the g string. 😂

Seriously, why would they make these? I get the other "inspired by", with the OG Epi headstock, but why this?
Wait a bit and, for a few hundred more, you can get an actual Gibson. If you're so set on the name, you're willing to pay extra for a fake Gibson headstock... just get a Gibson!?
