Epiphone by Gibson
Sheraton
Semi Acoustic Guitar
Circa - 1988 - With Hardcase
This is the
real deal when it comes to guitars, an Epiphone by Gibson Sheraton, aged and
played in . . .
The Epiphone by Gibson inlaid in the headstock makes this very, very rare.
Built in 1988, serial number 880900090, Korea.
These "Epiphone by Gibson" Guitars were only made in the legendary
Korean plants for 2 years only (1986 - 1988)
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 1988, this guitar's wood has 24 years of ageing and now has a sound
that literally cannot be replicated.
...thin line hollow maple body with a natural 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!

received the following:-
- Frets polished

Overall condition is very good for a 24 year old used guitar. I have been lucky
enough to have seen a few Epiphone by Gibson guitars and this is as good as any that I have seen and better than most. General playing wear to be expected but
nothing that detracts from the overall appearance and sound of the guitar.
The gator hardcase is included with the guitar. It is in fine condition for a
used case with all latches working and normal signs of use.
If there is anything I have missed picture wise, please let me know and I will
do my best to add it to the listing.
You will not be
disappointed with this guitar !!
