The headstock features the world-famous Gibson “open book” profile and has the Inspired by Gibson Custom double diamond logo etched on the back and an “Epiphone Inspired by Gibson” banner on the front. It is stage and studio-ready with the built-in L.R. Baggs VTC preamp and under-saddle piezo pickup system and a hardshell case with the Inspired by Gibson Custom logo is also included.
