Epiphone is giving a nod to the Gibson Custom shop with their updated Inspired by Gibson Custom Collection line. The Inspired by Gibson Custom Collection line features Gibson USA pickups and premium electronics, Gibson “open book” headstocks, solid wood construction, and one-piece necks.
All of the models in the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom Collection now feature Rosewood fretboards for even greater authenticity and historical accuracy, and USA-built pickups from the Gibson Pickup Shop in Nashville, Tennessee. These are the same high-quality, great-sounding pickups in the USA-built Gibson and Gibson Custom models.
All of the models feature vintage-appropriate headstock shapes, from the authentic Reverse Firebird headstock on the 1963 Firebird V Reissue With Maestro Vibrola and the 1963 Firebird I Reissue to the “open book” Gibson-style headstocks on the other models, they give these guitars an undeniably authentic appearance.
