“We set out to honour the soul of these iconic instruments while making them accessible to every kind of player”: Epiphone raises the bar for its acoustic guitar range with all-solid builds, rosewood fingerboards and affordable takes on Gibson classics

Epiphone Inspired By Gibson Acoustics 2026: the new all-solid core range takes its design cues from classic high-end Gibson USA builds.

Epiphone has just refreshed its acoustic guitar lineup for 2026 with the Inspired By Gibson range, and what’s new there? Gibson’s designs have forever been an influence on Epiphone’s range. But this is a little different.

Like the Epiphone Inspired By Gibson Custom 2025 range, these new models are closing the gap with their US-made counterparts – and at a more accessible price. This is the collection that offers a Hummingbird with an all-solid build and a rosewood fingerboard for just £849/$899.
