Why it matters
Inspired by Gibson Custom is the tier above Epiphone's standard Inspired by Gibson models, with Gibson pickups on some instruments, better hardware and finishes closer to the originals. Sweetwater lists members from $999 to $1,299, covering Les Paul, Firebird and ES-335 recreations among others. Because each guitar is priced separately, this entry records no single list price.
Note
Ultra-Traditional/Modern boutique-grade imports with ultramodern weight relief and Murphy-lab-style finishes.
