Reluctantly selling my Mint Condition, 2004 Epiphone Sheraton Elitist in a beautiful Vintage Sunburst (Serial Number: T4039**). Not a ding or dent on this guitar. She has never been gigged and rarely left the house. If you know anything about guitars you will know that this is not the cheap Korean or Chinese made Epiphone Sheraton. These Elistist guitars are professional instruments made by Epiphone at the Terada Plant in Japan with USA assembly and Electronics in the Gibson Facility in Nashville, Tennessee. The Sheraton model was discontinued in 2007. Previously they did retail for €1798 on Thomann.


I have upgraded the guitar as follows:- Seymour Duncan Antiquity II™ mini-humbuckers (€320), Grover Locking Rotomatics (€60) and a Bigsby B7 (€180). The Bigsby is the US made version and not the cheaper Asian version made under licence. The 181 ratio Locking tuners work perfectly with the Bigsby and the guitar really stays in tune.
She also has aftermarket brass saddles on the bridge......Upgrades were done by the legendary Guitar tech Charlie Chandlers at the Guitar Experience (London)
Total spend over € 600 !!!!


Specifications:-


* 1 5/8" wide nut
* bound rosewood fingerboard
* V-block fingerboard inlays
* bound peghead with vine inlay
* 24 3/4" scale length
* mortise & tenon neck-to-body joint
* double cutaway thinline body design
* 16" lower bout dimension
* 1 3/4" deep sides
* full length internal sustain block
* reflector-top knobs
* gloss sunburst finish
* Purple top of the line Epiphone hardshell case


Upgrades:-


* Seymour Duncan Antiquity II™ mini-humbuckers
* Bigsby B7
* 18:1 ratio Grover Locking Rotomatics (502 Series)
* Brass Saddles


This guitar is as good. if not better, than any Gibson semi-hollow body guitar you will find to day. A truely one of a kind guitar.... in mint condition
