  1. Any body know what sort of finish was used on these guitars? They feel a bit like Nitro but I suspect they are some sort of poly. I have two recently acquired Sheartons, a blond and Vintage Sunburst and a MIJ Emperor which is a L5 copy probably from a bit earlier? In spite of what I read here the details of the Korean Sheratons I have are not the best executed but have very nice necks and seem to be functionally well put together. For example the f hole on one is not really round but a series of straight lines approximating a curve. On both the multiple binding does not exactly match at the corners. There are a few ripples in the neck binding top etc. That said the frets cleaned up and leveled very nicely and the finish is well applied and in great condition. The Japanese Emperor is pretty much flawless. They all sound pretty good. I have seen several of these guitars on EBAY recently that would seem to be increasing in price if not value.
