AIUSA Sheraton

Just put one of these on lay away. Found a shop that not only had 1 but actually had 2 of them. I got to play them both ( Natural and sunburst) and I ended up choosing the sunburst as it was a bit lighter and I liked the way it was setup a bit better. I love minihumbuckers as I also own a 78 Les Paul Deluxe pro with the p90s swapped for 70s deluxe minihums, a 62 ri Sheraton, and a 72 ES 325. I can't wait to get her off of lay away in about a month or so. Who all here owns one? I've been reading old threads and I know CB has one like mine. Does anybody know how many are out there?

My suburst JLH Sheraton has the Frequensator, and it is from the first year (2000).

 

It has a signed blue label with JLH's photo, "The Boogie Man" on the pickguard, a different serial number sequence and "John Lee Hooker" on the truss rod cover.

 

The one you are purchasing with the white labeled number (over the blue label) is most likely from when these guitars were closed out by MF at $999. If only I'd had the wisdom to buy a truckload at that time!

 

Congrats - you will love it!

You won't regret it! I certainly don't!

(I added the "Imperial" tuner buttons myself, just 'cause I like them. There was nothing

wrong, with the original's)

Yeah I got that much from my google searches of this forum and Mylespaul.com . I got a pretty good deal on it as I only paid 950, which seems to be less than these and the elitist run on ebay. I've cleared out a space on the wall of fame for her :)
