Up for sale, a 1995 Epiphone by Gibson Sheraton II in exceptional, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case and hangtags. This uncommon Epiphone is a discontinued model produced at the Samick factory in Korea, and this era of Epi production is increasingly well-regarded for its build quality.
Covering all the tonal bases of your favorite ES-335, the Sheraton features maple semi-hollow construction (hollow wings with a center block for added sustain and reduced feedback) and a five-piece maple/walnut neck. Unplugged, the sound is warm and resonant, and the stock “Samsung” (likely no connection to the electronics giant) humbuckers deliver an array of traditional humbucker tones, with more bite in the bridge position and thicker sounds at the neck. The pickups are also wax-potted for ideal feedback rejection. This Sheraton II weighs 7lbs 15oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and spot-on intonation.
Neck Specs:
-Wood: Three-piece maple with walnut stringers
-Shape: Medium C with generous shoulders, measuring .840” 1st fret, .935” 12th fret.
-Fretboard: Multi-ply bound rosewood, pearl/abalone block inlay
-Frets: Medium jumbo, hint of wear beneath the plain strings on frets 1-5
-Scale Length: 24 3/4"
-Nut Width: 1 11/16"
-Headstock: Epiphone logo and "tree of life" inlay, Gibson truss rod cover.
-Tuners: Gotoh, gold-plated
-Serialization: S5-prefix serial, Samick production and 1995 build date, “Made in Korea” text
Body Specs:
-Pickups: Humbucker x2, 8.75k ohms neck, 8.3k ohms bridge
-Electronics: Volume x2, Tone x2, Three-way pickup selector
-Hardware: Tune-o-Matic bridge, stopbar
-Plastics: Amber bonnet knobs, multi-ply bound tortoise pickguard
The gloss Vintage Sunburst finish is framed by multi-ply cream binding, and cosmetic wear is limited to a few faint finish scratches and minor marks on the body as a whole consistent with careful use, largely relegated to the back. The smooth gloss finish on the neck profile is immaculate.
The original hardshell case is included, along with the hangtags/documentation.
