Svet Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 So I thought we should start another one of "those" threads! Why do I love my Sherry you ask? Well, for one thing, she is just a beautiful guitar! The craftsmanship and materials that were used in creating her stack up nicely to my Gibson's! The mini humbuckers are very versatile and sound great through all of my amps regardless of the settings. I can easily go from high gain R&R to super low bass Jazzy runs and she never skips a beat. Why do you love you Sherry and post some pictures!! Here is mine: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgifntx Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Unbelievable Svet! Shew, Purdy-Purdy!!! So what did you treat yourself to for the ol' B-day? I guess I missed it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svet Posted December 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Hi tgifntx, I have still yet to treat myself to anything for my birthday. I've been thinking about a 12 string guitar but can't decided if I want an electric like a Ric or an acoustic......hmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgifntx Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Ahaah... Nice choices Svet!! I didn't really do anything myself either. Well, I did pick up a couple straps... I forgot, As they have yet to make an appearance..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svet Posted December 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Yeah, I don't know what to do yet. I don't own a single 12 string so it's probably my best bet but that Gibson Es330l is hot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgifntx Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Yes sir, Sit back and play it by ear huh. Surely you've got somethin' around the stable there to help ease the boredom in the intrum... Hahaahhaah Lookin' forward to seein' which way ya' end up goin'! Always cool to see the collection! Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JefferySmith Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 My Sheratons remind me most of my first major electric guitar (ES-335 in 1964). So I ended up with four Sheratons! I also have a Dot from the Samick factory, but the Sheratons are more 335-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Well, here's my AUSA Sheraton II...AGAIN. LOL! Why do I "Love it?" Well....just look at it! What's not to love?! ;>) Seriously though, I love the tone, of the Mini's, the neck, the feel, and that "plain top" beauty, in a world of figured topped Les Pauls...or even 335's. I've never really cared for semi's with figured tops, for some unknown reason. I do like them, on Les Pauls, however. Anyway...the "Sheri" can do it all, and very well, too. It really IS an awesome Epi model. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Wow...I'm kind of surprised there hasn't been a bigger response (posting) on this thread, as many Sheri owners, beautiful ones, too...as there are, here. ??? Come on, guys/gals...let's see those Sheraton photos, and hear that "gushing," about your guitar(s). ;>) CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sledge57 Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 My pic doesn't do mine justice. This is the second "nice" guitar I bought. First was a PRS. I've already parted ways with the PRS but I can't imagine selling the Sheri until the day comes I decide to quit altogether. I also got my LP Jr cheap for buying the PRS and every time I play it, I like it more and more and have it on the "do not sell" list also. I was wondering, I don't see binding on the "f" holes in the other pics like mine has. Did the early ones not have bound "f" holes or are they just not showing up in the pics?

Ricochet Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Mine looks exactly the same as Sledge's... When did they replace the wide T-O-M by a regular Nashville-type T-O-M-bridge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svet Posted December 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Beautiful guitars guys!! I agree CB, I thought there would be more interest in this topic! Hey CB, is that USA Sherry a faded or satin type finish? It doesn't have much of a gloss look in those pictures. She is a looker though and I would love one of those!

charlie brown Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 No, Svet...it's glossy, Nitro. I used "bounce" flash, on the camera, and it's reflecting the ceiling...so there are no real "specular" highlights, to accentuate the glossy finish. But, I (personally) like broader lighting and less harshness (generally, but not always) for my guitar "snaps." It (usually) allows for more open detail, and softer shadows. It can...at times, be deceptive, as in this case. But, it's plenty glossy...just not quite like a "poly" finish is. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strumbone Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Now those are some nice looking guitars! I need to take some full front pics of mine, but this will have to do in the interim: Here's my tobacco burst '98 MIK: And here's a newer one with my recently completed homemade valve amp: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original (Vintage USA), Elitist, and AUSA don't have (never did) bound "f" holes. I think that started in Japan (Matsumoku or Aria era?), then to Korea, and China.
