This 1966 E212T Sheraton is a '60s Epiphone with plenty of vintage mojo. Heavily inspired by the Gibson 335, and for good reason as the Epiphones were built in the same Kalamazoo factory as their Gibson counterparts. Here with a multi-ply maple body, mahogany neck and Brazilian rosewood fingerboard make up this beautiful build, as well as a maple center block to reduce feedback.
Sporting two mini humbuckers, this semi-hollow electric has a punch and bite thanks to the unique construction of this style pickup, but roll off the tone and there's a mellow sound that's great for jazz and rhythm playing. Standing out are this guitar's well-adorned aesthetics, from the off-set frequensator tailpiece, Epiphone-style headstock with vine inlay, V-block inlays, and striking nitro Royal Tan finish that has checked beautifully over the years.
In Very Good condition for a nearly 60-year-old guitar, the nut and bridge have been replaced by our repair shop, with the original nut and bridge included. This vintage Epiphone benefits from a full refret, with a PLEK fret dress as well, and plays beautifully. The original pickguard has been lost to time, possibly corroded as the original pickguard mounting hardware is included in corroded condition as well. As for wear, a few marks here and there are present but it's been kept with very good care. Includes the era-appropriate hardshell case.
