Hi, I´m just curios to know, Was there only 50 guitars made with the Epiphone by Gibson head inlay? That doesn´t sound much for a three year production time, but if it´s true this means that they are really rare, did you get that confirmed by Gibson? /Mats

Thanks for the information, the Sheraton history was very interesting to read, No I don´t think there´s something that needs to be cleaned, the guitar has stayed in it´s case since 1989, I have done some adjusting on the pickup heights and I think I have got it as good as it gets. I have been playing the guitar a bit now, and I´m starting to like the mellow tone coming out of it, perfect for blues, but since I would like to play some "happier" tones too, maybe in the future I will change the electrics on it, meanwhile I will just play it, It´s a very nice guitar to play on and I´m getting more and more fond of it. The craftmanship is just beautiful, It´s a keeper. /Mats

Here comes the label /mats

Hi, I just bought an Epiphone by Gibson. There is an quite amazing story to it. The guy who sold the guitar got it as a present from friends and relatives on his 40 years birtday in 1989. On the day of his birthday he played the guitar once. Then he put it back in its case. There it has been resting until yesterday when i bought, with case, original instructions and adjusting key. So I bought a new guitar now scratches or any other annoying things. Question arises wich year was it made? The serial number is not complete. The label isn´t complete. the numbers that are on the label is 1211235 perhaps someone here has a cloue to which year this could relate to. I will try to upload some photos of the guitar. /Mats
