New Arrivals That Demand to Be Played
Also, the Epiphone Firebird is back baby! Check it in Musicmaker now!
You know that dangerous moment when you say, “I’ll just pop in and have a quick look…” — and then suddenly you’re ten guitars deep, plugged into an amp, completely gone?
Yeah… that’s happening in Musicmaker right now.
A fresh wave of Epiphone guitars has just landed, and it’s the kind of drop that turns casual browsing into full-blown playing sessions. There’s colour, there’s character, and more importantly — there are guitars here that feel good the second you pick them up. The kind that don’t need convincing. One chord and you’re in.
Let’s take a wander through some of the standouts.
The Acoustic Side – Wood, Air and Honest Tone
There’s something about acoustic guitars that cuts through everything else. No pedals, no amps, no hiding — just you and the instrument.
And Epiphone have absolutely delivered here.

Epiphone Masterbilt Texan – Faded Cherry
Vintage Soul, Big Open Voice
The Masterbilt Texan has history baked into it. This isn’t just a guitar — it’s a design that’s been part of recordings, songwriting sessions and stages for decades.
In this Faded Cherry finish, it feels like it’s already lived a life before it even leaves the stand. There’s a warmth to it visually, and that carries straight through into the sound.
You get that big, open dreadnought voice — full-bodied, rich in the low end, but still clear enough to let chords breathe properly. It’s the kind of guitar that suits storytelling. The kind you sit with for hours without noticing the time passing.
Strum it hard, it responds. Play it gently, it listens.
Epiphone DR-212 Songmaker 12-String – Natural
Double the Strings, Double the Magic
A 12-string has a way of transforming everything.
Suddenly, simple chords shimmer. Open tunings bloom. There’s a natural chorus effect that fills the room without needing anything extra.
The DR-212 Songmaker leans fully into that magic. It’s bright, full and incredibly satisfying to play, whether you’re strumming big open chords or picking out patterns that ripple across the strings.
There’s something almost cinematic about a 12-string when it’s played right — and this one makes it easy to get there.
Super wide sounds in a very affordable package - the Epiphone DR-212.
The Electric Line-Up – Colour, Character, Attitude
Then you turn the corner… and things get louder.
Epiphone’s electric range right now is bursting with personality — classic shapes, modern finishes, and tones that are ready for anything from blues to full-blown rock.

Les Paul Junior Double Cut – Ebony
Raw, Direct, No-Nonsense Rock
There’s something beautifully honest about a Les Paul Junior Double Cut.
No frills. No distractions. Just a slab of tone and a guitar that does exactly what you ask of it.
In Ebony, it looks sharp and stripped-back, and that carries into the sound. Plug it in and you get direct, punchy tone that reacts instantly to your playing. Roll back the volume, it cleans up. Dig in, it bites.
This is a player’s guitar. Pure and simple.
Get involved with a timeless lineage. The Les Paul Junior Double Cut.
Les Paul Special Double Cut Figured – Ocean Water
Classic Feel with a Splash of Modern
Then along comes something like the Ocean Water finish, and suddenly tradition gets a fresh coat of personality.
The Les Paul Special Double Cut Figured keeps that familiar shape and feel, but adds a visual twist that stands out without going over the top.
Tonally, it’s versatile and responsive, sitting comfortably across genres. It’s the kind of guitar that adapts to what you need — clean, driven, expressive — all without losing its identity.
It’s familiar… but just different enough to feel exciting again.
Stunning finish on a gorgeous guitar, check out the Epiphone Les Paul Special at Musicmaker.
Epiphone ES-335 Figured – Purple Burst
Smooth, Wide and Effortlessly Cool
And then there’s the ES-335 Figured in Purple Burst.
This is where things get properly classy.
Semi-hollow guitars have a voice all their own — airy, resonant, and full of character. The ES-335 has been a cornerstone of that sound for decades, and this version carries it forward beautifully.
Plugged in, it’s smooth and expressive. Clean tones feel rich and detailed, while overdrive brings out a warm, singing quality that’s hard to beat.
And visually? That Purple Burst finish is pure stage presence.
Pure, old school cool. The Epiphone ES-335 Figured.
More Than Just a Few Guitars
These are just highlights.
Right now, Musicmaker is packed with a wide range of Epiphone guitars, from acoustics to electrics, classics to modern takes. It’s one of those moments where the wall feels alive — full of instruments waiting to be picked up, played and put through their paces.
And that’s really what this is about.
Guitars That Want to Be Played
Epiphone have always had a knack for making guitars that feel accessible without feeling basic.
This latest drop reinforces that in the best way possible.
These are instruments that don’t intimidate — they invite. They respond. They encourage you to play longer, try more, and get lost in it a little.
And whether you’re just starting out or adding something new to your collection, that feeling never really gets old.
