全新2024 Epiphone Tak Matsumoto 1955 Les Paul Standard Antique Gold
Gibson Custom於2022年發表限量的Gibson Custom Shop Tak Matsumoto 1955 Les Paul Goldtop Murphy Lab Aged，復刻日本天團B'z的吉他手「松本孝弘」手中編號5-9937的1955 Gibson Les Paul Goldtop，於日本限定販售，限量150支，在開賣當天迅速完銷。
松本孝弘本人著迷於Jeff Beck的1954 Les Paul 「Oxblood」，多年來他一直在找尋適合的1954 Les Paul，當他在2019年遇到了這支與1954規格相似的1955 Gibson Les Paul Goldtop，這把吉他為All Goldtop，也就是包括琴背都是金色的，但琴頸後方的金色漆面已經磨損，松本孝弘決定改造這把吉他，他以Oxblood為概念，將原始的P90更換成P490的Humbucker拾音器，除了保留了這把吉他的金色漆面以外，他還將琴頸後方重新上了一層透明漆，蓋住了原始磨損的區域。吉他在改造完成後不僅音色強勁，且保留了50年代Les Paul特有的粗壯琴頸，這使他相當滿意，這把吉他也在他於2020年推出的個人作品「Bluesman」專輯中大量的使用。
而2024年，Gibson子工廠Epiphone與松本孝弘合作，推出了Inspired by Gibson Custom系列的版本，這是Epiphone等級最高的等級，承襲了Gibson版本，搭配桃花心木琴身與一體成型琴頸、Indian Rosewood指板、Long Neck Tenon、而琴頸規格為Tak Matsumoto專屬的Custom Neck Profile，琴頭上的Epiphone標誌也向下移，重現了1955時期的樣貌。此外，拾音器與電子零件的部分皆與Gibson版本相同，搭配的是BurstBucker Pro Alnico V拾音器、CTS Pots、Grey Tiger電容與Switchcraft等，有助於音色大幅提升。此款琴目前日本幾乎沒有現貨，預購訂單已經排到明年才能交貨，一琴難求，把握機會。

From Epiphone:
Takahiro “Tak” Matsumoto is a Grammy® Award-winning guitarist, composer, and record producer. He has been highly successful as a session musician, solo artist, and also as the guitarist and primary songwriter for the rock duo B’z – the best-selling musical act in Japan. Epiphone is proud to release the Tak Matsumoto 1955 Les Paul™ Standard, a new Inspired by Gibson Custom model that was influenced by Tak’s cherished vintage 1955 Les Paul. It features a mahogany body with a maple top, a one-piece mahogany neck with a laurel fretboard, a long neck tenon, and a Tak Matsumoto custom neck profile that’s slightly thinner than a ’59 neck profile, and a Gibson-style “open book” headstock with the mother of pearl Epiphone logo shifted down slightly, just as they were in 1955. The Gibson Historic Wraparound bridge features intonation set screws, and the guitar comes equipped with a set of Pro Rock Gear strap locks. The electronics include a set of Gibson Burstbucker™ PRO Alnico 5 pickups and 50s wiring with vintage taper CTS® potentiometers, Grey Tiger capacitors, and a Switchcraft® 3-way toggle and output jack. A vintage-style brown/pink hardshell case with the Inspired by Gibson Custom logo and a reproduction of Tak’s signature on the outside is also included.
