Ferdasyn Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 http://www.epiphone.com/Products/Electrics/Archtop/Ltd-Ed-Union-Jack-Sheraton.aspx Pre-ordered one of these back in March, was told at the time it would be delivered on or about the 20th of June. Just heard back from the supplier today who said it's no slated for July/August. What's your opinion on these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just heard back from the supplier today who said it's no slated for July/August. What's your opinion on these? I think it looks awesome. Perhaps a possible collectors item down the road. Hope you get it soon.. Let us know what you think of it when you do receive it. Welcome to the family. Cheers Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just heard back from the supplier today who said it's no slated for July/August. What's your opinion on these? Oh my opinion… I am not crazy about all that paint ~ but, I am having a love affair with those Gibson mini humbuckers! The '60's slim taper neck is so comfortable for me that when I consider new/other guitars I keep it at top of mind. It already has the 18:1 Grovers and what "sounds" like a better nut material, CTS pots and their heavy duty switch and jacks! Don't forget the case! It may be hard to do better - out of the box - on an Epiphone… /opinion Good Luck, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdasyn Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 Cheers for the replies! I get your point with the paint It certainly helps that I'm an Oasis/Noel Gallagher fan. When I got the email from Epiphone announcing they were putting out a few of these I ordered it immediately. Just can't wait to get my hand son it.

tweed2 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 It looks pretty close to the Sheraton Reissue '62, other than the paint. Case sounds the same. If that's the only difference, then Epiphone really made more than the 1962 that they say they are limiting the run to. Anybody know if the paint is the only thing?

My '62 Sheraton had 14:1 Asian made Grover's and a plastic nut. I am sure the electric guts are the same… I put the 18:1 Grover's on my guitar and I am quite pleased with the difference it made, not only with the accuracy in tuning but I believe the mass difference made my guitar sound better! Not sure if I can substantiate that claim but that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burchster Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I have on order and have been told the end of July. I am not crazy about the paint either but it a reissue of an orginal sherry w/mini hums and a frequensator so I couldnt resist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the last thing (already done a lot done to it) will be tuners. Which Grovers did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crust Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 cool guitar, but....please make one without the flag. A natural or VS would be nice (I'd obtain a VS). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which Grovers did you use? I used the 102-18G's The 'G' stands for gold. They have nickel, chrome etc. Search around the internet, I think I only paid like $70.00ish for my gold machines all said and done… Of course gold is much more expensive than the rest. I see the 102-18N for $53.00 and the 102-18C's for $49.00 on amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody know if the paint is the only thing? the inlays go further down the neck to replicate Noel's. They did a pretty great job hitting the sweet spot between a British Invasion anniversary model and a Britpop anniversary model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferdasyn Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 So today is the 15th of July, just called again to enquire. Apparently Epiphone have had trouble shipping on time, told now to expect it September/October. Pretty frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt4356 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I also ordered in April, when delivery was the 20th June. I've spoken with the dealer on Monday and was told to expect a call in the next couple of weeks because they've started getting the l/h and coupe casinos in last week! I also saw last night someone in the US received theirs on Monday! I can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPS1976 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 cool guitar, but....please make one without the flag. A natural or VS would be nice (I'd obtain a VS). they kinda did. http://www.epiphone.com/Products/Archtop/1962-50th-Anniversary-Sheraton.aspx minus a few inlays, they are pretty much the same. maybe one will turn up used one day.

iankinzel Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I really wish Epiphone had at least just one standard Sheraton or Riviera with mini humbuckers, instead of all these sporadic limited editions. Didn't those models originally come with mini humbuckers in the '60s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burchster Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Yes they did....I cancelled my order for UJ sherry got tired of waiting...bought a refurbed 62/50th sherry in vintage sunburst instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously considering cancelling my order, where did you get your 62/50 from? One in natural might push me into it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
