  1. Hi there.. Thought I might add myself to the club with some pics of my Sheraton (shot off my phone, so they're not the best). She's Korean, made c. July 1988, from production run 04777. I've owned her from new, and bought her from a music shop in Cambridge, UK. I swapped out the pickups around 2000, and put in Seymour Duncan Seth Lovers, which sound great. This year, I got my local luthier to sand the varnish off the back of the neck, as I always found that too sticky, and it really helped speed the neck up. Playing wise, she's seen better days, and although I gig with her, she's not the easiest to play, and is in need of a refret, which I'll do this Autumn. She's also badly balanced, as the headstock is really heavy, but a wide strap helps, and I may try weighting the body end near the strap to see if that helps. Aside from that, after 26 years, she's definitely a guitar you'd have to prize out of my cold dead hands! Cheers, Nick
