Epiphone Sheraton II
Just before the New Year, I found the Epiphone Sheraton I have been looking for. It is an 1989, Korean built guitar, in Tobacco Sunburst.
It is a very beautiful guitar, and I am very happy with it. It is all stock, exactly as it came from the Epiphone factory and was a fair price and came with a case.
I am enjoying the guitar as it is at the moment, sounds fine through my amp. However, I have started research on the Epiphone forums, about a set of pickups for this guitar.
In due course I will replace all the electrics and mount a new set of pickups in the Sheraton. The guys on the Epiphone forums are amazing, and I now know, where I am headed to find the tone I want for this guitar.
It is not going to be easy, the ideal pickups would be from a 1960 Epiphone Zephyr, they are rare and expensive, so I will have to find an acceptable compromise.
I will try out a few neck pickups, however, I may have found what I am after in the shape of the Jason Lollar Firebird mini.
Sounds like this: Jason Lollar Firebird (neck)
Well, I will carry on with my research and enjoy the guitar as it is for now.
Then, as things progress, I will update this post.
