AldoMcD1 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I was not in the market for a new guitar, but I found an 83' Japanese Matsumoku made Sheraton for sale on Gumtree. Decided to go and take a look at it last Sunday and ended up coming home with a new guitar. Other than some slight tarnishing to the gold plating on the tailpiece and pickups, it is in excellent condition and is all stock / original parts. Was well worth the four hour round trip.

kidblast Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I had one just like that -- mine was a early 90s that I soon after wished I hadn't sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonR Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 That's a beautiful old thing isn't it jolly good for you - and it's also the Sheraton version of my Emperor which apparently dates from 2 months before yours. Here is the thread with pics of the Emperor in case you've not seen it If it's anything like the Emperor then you're going to love playing it, it turns out that these guitars are very well made indeed.

AldoMcD1 Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Thanks for the replies. Liking it more and more every time I get to play it. Simon - beautiful guitar. I previously posted in your thread with regards to trying to accurately date the year of manufacture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonR Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Simon - beautiful guitar. I previously posted in your thread with regards to trying to accurately date the year of manufacture. Gosh - sorry - of course you did, I recognise your name now!! It's been a long day :-) When you have a sec, please could you post a close-up pic of one of the volume / tone knobs? Anyway, enjoy, I'm sure you are!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
