New Guitar day for me- Sheraton Union Jack

Since I love things British- I saw a good deal on this one and couldn't resist. Great for jazz chords and plays great. Epi Sheraton Union Jack

Shame they didn't make this one (minibuckers, Frequensator, '60s-style case) in standard finishes (cherry/blonde/sunburst) - probably could've sold a ton of them...

Use it well, often, and LOUD...

That thing is awesome! Congratulations.

That's nice. You really should put that up over there in the Gibson forums Epiphone electrics. Them peoples be nuts about those Union Jacks. Very nice guitar!

But they did make Rivieras with mini-humbuckers in standard finishes - and they are available used.

Way cool, Gmountain! One of my all time favorite Epiphones. You must find something "Dr.Who" to hang on it or keep in the case with this guitar.
All the best to you.

That's a very cool guitar!

That model Epi, always reminds me of a Pete Townshend song, Sheraton Gibson.

I'm sitting' in the Sheraton Gibson playing' my Gibson
And boy do I wanna go home.

Oh man. I wanted that guitar so bad in high school (late 90s). Back then it was the Epiphone Supernova, which even to my untrained eyes at the time didn’t look quite as cool as the one I saw with Noel Gallagher in photos. But this one you’ve got is the real deal with the right model, specs, and — most important — correct-looking Union Jack finish! Enjoy!

Looks great; Congrats! Where did you pick it up?

Actually they made a Epiphone Elitist guitar in the early 2000's that came in natural and I believe sunburst. They had the mini humbuckers and everything!

I got it on Reverb.

NICE guitar! Love the style. I bet it can crank out some Blues as well. Go plug that thing into a Vox!
