There is no question that the Epiphone Union Jack Sheraton Outfit is one of the more eye-catching archtops on the market. As a serious player you may think "Nice! Those gold-plated Grover machineheads and elegant Epiphone Frequensator tailpiece offer a touch of refinement ( Thanks Epiphone for not using this as the reason to overprice this baby), The 1960s SlimTaper neck profile is awesome to play;  and finally the Gibson mini-humbuckers are a bona-fide tone guarantor of vintage snap, spank and attitude". Man oh man, at no extra charge you also get decades of breeding, with pedigree Epiphone appointments such as the sloped dovewing headstock with leaf inlay." You will not be able to help but fall in love with the Alpine White finish, punked to outrageous effect by Geri Halliwell's 1997 stylist. A limited edition, coming with Artistic Certificate of Authenticity, the Union Jack Sheraton Outfit is a guitar made famous by Noel Gallagher,(and not for shrinking violets). Lauded by Oasis superfans, Britpoppers, Brit-rockers with Live At Leeds on repeat, and die-hard mods with RAF roundels for eyes will love everything about it. But this is a bright and refined classic with a lot more to it than its finish. a) it has a great spine, with a mahogany neck glued to a laminated maple body, and a rock-solid LockTone Tune-o-matic bridge holding everything in place. b) Secondly, it has a great playable feel, with its classically Gibson/Epiphone 629mm (24.75-inch) scale length and lithe neck accommodating to a fault. The Sheraton is instantly associated with the toothy, gnarly spangle of nouveau Brit-rock epitomised by the Gallaghers, but it handles busy jazz playing and strong-armed blues without breaking a sweat. Its voice is naturally bright yet rolling back the tone on the neck position's mini-humbucker will give jazz cats plenty of woody definition. The bridge 'bucker is treble incarnate, with bite and venom when played through a hot overdriven valve amp and a US of A country twang.
