It's not just a clever name, playing this guitar really does feel like your hands are on a vacation at a luxury resort (see what we did there...?). This semi-hollow beauty practically plays itself! This sweet sequel to the original 50's Sheraton was produced in Korea and was made with the "Epiphone by Gibson" moniker for just two years: '86-'88. So here's your chance to own a truly unique piece.
Looking opulent as hell with the aged alpine white finish on with that tortoise shell pickguard and gold hardware, but like, in a chill, not gaudy way. Like chilling poolside sipping a margarita with one of those tiny little umbrellas, you're not begging for attention from anyone, but people know you roll in style. This unique
The slim 60's style neck measures in at 0.805" at the 1st fret and .925" at the 12th, and sports a radius of 12" and a 1.11/16" nut width. This bad boy weighs in at 8.3lbs, comes loaded with the original humbuckers , and CTS pot. It is ready to handle whatever licks you can throw at it with ease.
This guitar has seen many a session and many a gig in its life. She's not used and abused but she does show her age. The white finish has yellowed overall (which looks cool in my opinion). There are dings to be found on the back of the neck along with swirl, playwear, and aging on the back of the body (see pics). The same playwear and aging can be found on the top of the body. Perhaps the largest item to take note of is it has received a headstock repair at some point in its illustrious career. It's a well-done repair that should hold for a good long time. Take a look at all the pics to get a full look at the blemishes. But none of this detracts from how striking this guitar is to see, play, and hear.
