  1. Looks like a Matsumoku-era Sheraton II...funny body shape on it, looks a lot wider at the waist than usual. I think the early Matsumoku Epi's were like that, though. I agree with Gordy...the stock Epiphone, most of the time, is a good guitar. More often than not, people run into issues with the electronics more than they run into problems with the setup and the finish. My Casino, stock, was great...but after I overhauled the electronics, souped up the pickups, swapped the chrome for plastic, got a bretter bridge, got the longer tailpiece, tuners, etc.....it blows away every guitar that I try today. I think that's really down to the fact that I brought it where I want it, and now that it fits me like a glove everything else just seems bland by comparison. My thinking is: if you want to spend a couple thousand bucks on a guitar made by Gibson, then dump a few more hundred into making it feel good to play, then that's alright. If you want to get a phenomenal sounding instrument for half that price, get a great stock Epi and mod it to your liking. See:
