Epiphone by Gibson Sheraton Semi Acoustic GuitarCirca - 1989 -With Hardcase
This is the real deal when it comes to guitars, an Epiphone Sheraton, aged and played in . . .
Built in 1989 (making this guitar, now officially vintage!), serial number 9051478, Samick Factory, Korea,
the factory Gibson first moved their production to after taking over the Epiphone brand.
Guitars from this time and factory are well known for their high quality and finish.
Please do not mistake this for the new lesser quality Chinese models.Built in 1989, this guitar's wood has 27 years of ageing and now has a sound
that literally cannot be replicated. ...thin line hollow maple body with a stunning tobacco burst finish, that looks absolutely
stunning against the gold hardware that has worn in all the right places and has
given it that lovely naturally aged patina, including gotoh style machine heads and a
body binding that's taken on a lovely creamy colour with age...
This is a gorgeous guitar!The solid maple block in the centre of the body minimizes feedback,
while the hollow body wings gives sustain, tone and weight.
Two Epiphone alnico classic humbuckers for authentic vintage tone,
combined with the aged wood the guitar sounds really, really beautiful.The neck is a very comfortable 5 piece walnut and maple neck,
it is a dream to play!In preparation for sale the guitar has received the following:-
- Frets polished
- Fretboard cleaned, lemon oiled and conditioned
- Restrung on 31/10/2016 with D'Addario 10 gauge strings
- String height set at 2.4mm at 17th fret, Bass side
- 2mm at 17th fret, Treble side
- Correct saddle height adjustment
- Correct neck relief adjustment
- all electrics checked
- all hardware including screws have been removed,
cleaned, lightly oiled and reassembled
- Full body and neck cleaned and polished
Overall I would describe the condition of this guitar to be
in well above average on what you would expect for a guitar that is 27 years old.
General playing wear is to be expected, and please keep in mind, the guitar is 27 years old
and has been played, but there is nothing that detracts
from the overall appearance and sound of the guitar.
The original and genuine Epiphone hardcase is included with the guitar
with all latches working and normal signs of use and
looks like it has always been with the guitar.
The decorative back is missing from one of the machine heads, please see pictures.
This in no way affects the guitars performance and is purely cosmetic.
I have included a full set of machine heads (typical modern replacements) should you wish to change them.You will not be disappointed with this guitar and if you have any questions please ask me through EbayPlease see my feedback for confidence and happy bidding
