Chasing a buzz can ruin your life. We can't tell you if it's a fret problem, a nut problem or anything. We can't see it, or hear it. I've had a buzz from the bridge that went and came back back on bends etc. Like mihcmac says sometimes it's best to take it to someone who knows what they are doing.

Guitarguitar have just shared the red 150th sheraton on Instagram. All major sellers in UK have them too. Price between £1299 - £1429. A £500 difference between the 150th and the new standard Sheraton.

They will be metric cts pots. About 95% of the world uses the metric measurement system. Epiphone guitars are made in one of those places.

Epiphone have just shared a picture of the Sheraton on Instagram. Available in VSB and natural. https://www.epiphone.com/en-US/Electric-Guitar/Sheraton/Vintage-Sunburst

Here is a plain top in VSB, from 2008 (If the link works) https://www.sheltonsguitars.com/2008/2-6-08/epiphone-les-paul-std-tsb-plain-2-8-08.html -

Hi, I would also describe it as Vintage Sunburst. I would also say its a plus top, I have a Honeyburst plus top from 2010 and the flame is very similar. -
So as the title suggests, there is a video circulating appearing to show a new Sheraton being worked on in the Epiphone factory. The obvious assumption would be a 150th anniversary spec release. A quick Google search produces an ebay auction with a cherry red Sheraton with an epiphone tremotone, mini hums etc. This is original Sheraton spec, as was the 2012 anniversary version, which it appears to be identical to except for a 150th anniversary decal on the rear of the headstock. The serial number dates it at October 22. Hopefully the announcement will be soon. I will definitely get one. The original Sheraton is in my opinion the best.

If you brought it from new and like the strings it came with, they were probably 10-46 gauge. That's what epiphone claim to ship with. The shop you got it from may have changed them.

Nice. I prefer the frequensator. It was definitely a labour of love, I can agree that the early 90's Sheratons are nice, i have a blonde 93. Excellent job.

My guess would be June 2000. But that's a basic guess. Is there anything on the back of the headstock?
-
By Gibson headstock do you mean truss rod cover? Or does it say Epiphone by Gibson in pearl? Also how do you know it's made in Korea?
-
It could be a 2000 made in June. That would be the 0006. I would expect a factory designation letter before the numbers though. Either an S or U There looks to have been a sticker or something after the serial number? It looks to say 1994? I've not seen one with a Gibson stamp over the serial like that. If it was from 90, it should have fret nibs, i doubt its from 90 though. Is there a screen print serial on the headstock? Some of the 90' to early 00's were a weird period with serial numbers sue to changes in factory and country etc.

Early 70's? They weren't made then. 85 is believed to be the beginning of these. -

Nice, natural is the best colour in my opinion.
