EPIPHONE’S “INSPIRED BY GIBSON” COLLECTION DROPS JAWS

Epiphone has announced that its 2020 electric guitar lineup will be split into two ranges: ‘Epiphone Originals’ and ‘Epiphone Inspired by Gibson’.

The latter range’s guitars will feature the more Gibson-like Kalamazoo headstock, as well as upgraded electronics and finishes.

These models include the Les Paul Junior, Les Paul Special, SG Special, Les Paul Standard ‘50s, Les Paul Standard ‘60s, SG Standard, ‘61 SG Standard w/Maestro, Designer Collection Explorer, Firebird and Flying V – as well as a Les Paul Studio and Les Paul Modern.

The Epiphone Original Collection, meanwhile, sees the relaunch of Made in USA models, beginning with the Texan acoustic – which features solid woods, X-bracing and a 25.5-inch scale length.
