“We tried to capture the heart of what a Gibson Custom guitar is, and I think we really have done it”: Epiphone expands and upgrades its flagship Gibson Custom collab with eight stunning vintage-inspired electrics

Epiphone goes high-end with its Inspired By Gibson Custom 2025 collection: [from left] the '63 Firebird in Polaris White is joined by a 1959 Les Paul Standard, a '64 SG Standard, a 1960 Les Paul Special in TV Yellow and a 1962 ES-335 reissue. .

Epiphone has expanded its top-of-the-range Inspired By Gibson Custom series with eight new electric guitars, all featuring a range of premium appointments, including Gibson USA electric guitar pickups as standard.

As the name suggests, these Epiphone guitars all take their design cues from classic Gibson designs. Produced in partnership with the Gibson Custom Shop, they all feature vintage gloss finishes that give them a subtly aged patina, and duly take the suffix “Reissue”.
