DISC Epiphone 50th Anniv. 1962 E212T Sheraton Electric Guitar, Cherry

Full Description

The 50th Anniversary '1962' Sheraton features the original early '60s Sheraton profile with a laminated maple body and period-correct binding. The tortoise-style pickguard has a metal foil 'E' and the mahogany neck has a 1960's SlimTaper profile. The rosewood fingerboard has 22 medium jumbo frets, pearloid and Abalone Block and Triangle inlays. Grover 'kidney' style machine heads with a 14:1 ratio on a dovewing 3-on-a-side headstock with pearloid vine inlay.

The Sheraton's Electronics features CTS potentiometers, Epiphone's non-rotating 1/4" output jack, gold Top Hat knobs with metal inserts and Gibson USA mini-humbuckers for superior sound. Jazz and Rock players alike love mini-humbuckers for their flexibility. Favoured by Johnny Winter, Pete Townshend and Scott Gorman of Thin Lizzy, mini-humbuckers are the perfect combination of the 'bite' heard in single coil pickups and the warm overtones found in PAF-style full-size humbuckers.

The Sheraton E212T comes with a gold Frequensator tailpiece, a beautiful recreation of the classic tailpiece found on vintage Epiphones. Also included with the Sheraton are a hard case and certificate of authenticity.
