FS - Epiphone Sheraton (heavily upgraded)
Decided to put a few guitars up for sale as an amp I've been waiting a long time for has come on the market and I can't afford it without moving on a few bits. Guitars ideally to be collected from East Farleigh, Kent or possible meet up. I travel around the country a fair bit for gigs so feel free to get in touch.
Gibson SG Standard (1991) SOLD
Picked up this guitar recently as it's from a fantastic era for Gibson. It's been well used and has a tonne of mojo - lacquer checking all over and parts of the guitar have even worn through to the wood. Very hard to photograph the lacquer checking properly but it looks amazing in person People pay upwards of £5K for a guitar aged like this from Gibson, much cooler in my opinion to be authentic wear from use over its 32 year life. Neck profile is slim-medium I'd say. Definitely not really skinny but also not chunky at all. Tried to show in the pictures. Hardcase not original but it is an early 2000s Gibson hardcase which has been with the guitar for 20 years.
£995

Epiphone Sheraton (2005)
I've had this guitar around 4-5 years now and it's a truly fantastic guitar. I had my tech refret it with stainless steel frets and install a tusq nut (£300) which completely transformed it. I have the action set stupidly low on this and it still sounds amazing with very little buzz. I don't think I've had another guitar that could do that (apart from maybe a Novo Serus T I had). It currently has a set of PAF style pickups installed (£200) that were wound by the same tech (Jim @Planet Guitar - absolute legend and incredible tech should anyone need any work doing). I love these pickups and am more than happy to get him to take them out before I sell (in fact that would be my preference) and reinstall the originals. I'll list two prices for it though just incase the buyer really wants them as I can always get him to wind me another set. When he did the pickups he also changed all the wiring and pots for proper CTS pots which is why it's missing the knobs for the tone controls - still haven't bought replacements but obviously these are very easy to source. Was gonna buy some and then thought I'd leave it down to the buyer to choose which style they want. Comes with original hardcase. I do have the original pickguard somewhere too. I also have an aged tailpiece to match the pickups and bridge but just hasn't got around to installing it as the strings were still good and didn't need changing. Currently got D'Addario 10-52s. As you can see I'm pretty much selling it for the price it's cost me just in upgrades!
£750 w/PAFs (original pickups still included)
£600 reverted back to original pickups

Epiphone Les Paul Custom SG (2011)
Great feeling chunky neck profile on this one. Had a bone nut installed and cut nice and low whilst it was in having the frets levelled last year. Has a beautiful dark rosewood fretboard. The Bigsby was already installed when I bought it and works great. One of the holes from the original tailpiece is visible but it's never bothered me. As you can see from the pictures it is quite minor.
£395 SOLD
