SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD Epiphone Sheraton Left Handed Electric Guitar 2001 Korean + Hardcase
Epiphone Sheraton
Left Handed
Semi Acoustic Guitar
Circa - 2001 - With Hardcase This
is the real deal when it comes to guitars, an Epiphone Sheraton, aged and
played in . . .
Built in 2001, serial number S01034311, Samick Plant, Korea.
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 2001, this guitar's wood has 12 years of ageing and now has a sound
that literally cannot be replicated.
...thin line hollow maple body with a gorgeous 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 buttery 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 and it is a dream
to play! I know as I'm left-handed myself and have had the pleasure of playing
this fine instrument for the last couple of weeks, prior to preparing for sale.
In preparation for sale the guitar has
received the following:-
- Frets polished
- Fretboard cleaned, lemon oiled and conditioned
- Restrung on 24/10/2013 with 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 well above what you
would expect for a guitar that is 12 years old. In fact I would go as far as to
say, that you would be hard pressed to find a left handed guitar of this age
that is anywhere near this condition. General playing wear is to be expected,
and please keep in mind, the guitar is 12 years old, but there is nothing that
detracts from the overall appearance and sound of the guitar. In the interests
of being honest, there is a tiny hole above the truss rod cover where the
previous owner changed the Gibson truss rod cover for an Epiphone one. I have
reinstated the original Gibson cover and the hole is so small that you have to
know it's there to see it. It certainly doesn't not detract from the overall appearance of this beautiful instrument. The brand new Spider hardcase (RRP
£44.99) is included.
You will not be disappointed with this guitar !!
