[Do you regret your Epiphone purchase?]

Welcome to the forum ImOnEdge,.... although your question kinda sniffs of trolling, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt....

 

Four Epi's in this household and not one regret. Fantastic build quality on all of them and great tone. The humbuckers on my SG are a tad on the muddled side but for a $400 git,.... it ain't bad. My Casino, my Sheraton and my wife's NV Riv are fantastic gits.

 

I'd say put your Gibby bias aside and give an Epi a try,.... you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Cool, and what is your question ?

 

 

I bet it isn't 104101747 - the first digit is 'I' not '1'

 

it is made Oct 04 at Saein, Korea

 

Sorry Pete

 

...I should of worded that a tad better,... just wanted to confirm the factory. Thanks for the reply.

Hey folks, I've got a potential purchase at hand. It's a Sheraton being sold as a 2003 to 2004 with serial # 104101747.

 

edit: I think it should read i and not a 1 as the first digit.

 

 

Thanks,

Frank

[Differences between China-made and Korea-made Epiphone (Sheraton)]

I'd go for the MIK. The 'Tobacco Burst' Sheraton is stunning!, and not currently an available option. I too am actively searching or one.... With all due respect to the MIC Epiphone owners (I too happen to be one - SG G400), if you have the option of MIK over MIC, I'd buy Korean, just based on ethical/political grounds. I'm trying to limit my 'made in China' purchases,... but it's next to impossible to find alternatives, have some fun next time you're at Walmart, pick ten items randomly,... see what you find!
