STF7583 Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Hi there! Anyone to help me find out what kind of varnish is used on the Sheraton II Pro? I'd like to buy a guitar stand and make sure it is compatible with the varnish on my guitar. Thanks! Stéphane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt Vonnegut Fan Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 It's NOT notrocellulose, so you have nothing to worry about. The finish is some sort of urethane or polyester, non-reactive to latex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mihcmac Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) Yep.. Nitrocellulose only on Elitist series guitars, all other standard production Epiphones are Polyurethane.. Edited July 4, 2019 by mihcmac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the majority of Elitists are also poly. Only the most recent Elitist releases (primarily for the Japanese market) are nitro. This includes revamped versions of the Casino, Riviera, and Texan - all manufactured in Japan by Terada. A few earlier Terada-made Epiphones had a nitro finish: The '65 John Lennon Casino (two versions), the '64 John Lee Hooker Sheraton (two versions), and the '64 Paul McCartney Texan. None of these instruments were part of the Elitist series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOSTVENTURE Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Any stable stand will do the job. I prefer the little folding Fender stands primarily for the ease of storage and when travelling. Get the "acoustic" model. It has a deeper rest that works very well with my Sheraton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as to the original question the Epiphone Sheraton II Pro has a Polyurethane finish and should not be effected by contact with a guitar stand..
