[John Lee Hooker 50th Anniversary Sheraton]

Thanks, Y'all.

No, I have one. It's un-played, Limited Edition, #49 of 50 and it seems like it would be better served to be in the hands of someone who got some enjoyment out of it. It's got John Lee's signature on the internal serial number label and he signed it on the front as well. It has the standard bridge so it may be the Korean model but it seems like there's a fan or a collector somewhere who would like to have a unique instrument.

Cheers,

K

If you've located one to consider for purchase, it would be important to provide some pictures. There are two very different Epiphone models using the JLH moniker:

 

One is the highly regarded "Assembled in USA" JLH Sheraton I or II. Version one has a Frequensator tailpiece, version two has a stopbar tailpiece. These were made in Japan by the Terada factory and then shipped to the USA for final assembly with Gibson pickups & hardware.

 

The other JLH branded Sheraton is a Korean made version which is very similar to the generic Sheraton II that has been manufactured for many years in Korean and now China. It's value is much less than the AIUSA version, and sellers frequently ask an inflated price for it.

Hello,

I'm wondering if any of you good folks can educate me on the history, quality, availability and value of a John Lee Hooker 50th Anniversary Epiphone Sheraton.

Any/all information would be appreciated.

Cheers,

K
