FS? Epiphone Sheraton II 1997

I might sell this puppy if it helps me keep my amps and someone local wants to pick it up.

I've owned it for its entire life (20 years... I'm old).

If someone is interested, I can get some better pictures. This was a random snap I found in my Google Photos.

Very good condition. I've mostly kept it for the nostalgia as I tend to use my Strat most of the time. Includes the case.

Price: I dunno, $500 OBO?

Rare, Samick factory 90s Epiphone. Gorgeous with all original hardware, excellent condition. I've had this since it was new and have babied it the entire time... I even left the clear protective film on the pickguard until a few months ago.

Your guitar was made at the
Samick Plant, Korea
June 1997
Production Number: 6506

Samick Guitars is one of the world’s largest stringed instrument manufacturers. Samick produces acoustic, acoustic-electric, and electric models. The company began guitar production in Korea in July 1965 and started producing guitars for Epiphone in the mid 80's. They are believed to have been the main producer of Epiphone guitars during that time. During its operation the Korean factory turned out 6,500 to 8,000 instruments a month. However by 2004 no Epiphone guitars where produced by Samick and all guitar production had been moved to their factories in Indonesia and China.

 

My first electric was a Samick made and branded Gibson Explorer rip off, it was a surprisingly competent guitar until it met an untimely end when I dropped it down a long set of stairs, no case. I'm still playing a Samick made Epiphone acoustic from 1990, because I am also old.

 

If I wasn't on the other side of the country...

 

Super gorgeous!!!! I had one of these as a jazz workhorse in high school.
