AS90 Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 putting it on your Sherri ??? been considering the same for my Ebony II (non-elitist) Yep! people tell me not to as I will devalue it (it wont) but this is a players guitar not a museum piece!

BillyGibson Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Definitely post pictures. I thought about doing that to my Dot Deluxe. But then traded it in on a Les Paul. And tell us how the sound changes. More sustain? Less Sustain? Same? Either way, it will look outstanding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AS90 Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 People think being an Elitist makes it some sort of sacred cow, its not like I am drawing a moustache on the Mona Lisa is it?! Its my guitar and probably always will be. I would take a well worn players axe covered in gaffer tape and scratches over a shiney display peice any day! Look what turned up anyway... Im in the middle of a run of nine twelve hour night shifts so nothing will be done for a few days yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zork Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I just talked to Jeff Krumm the owner and designer of Savage Amps today and he said of an old Fender amp I had in for repair, "You have to decide, are you gonna play it or look at it?". I'm gonna play it! I love and own Epi Eliite-ists. That's why I love 'em. Besides now you can route it for a Kahler Floyd Bigsby tap switch.

jonny_2_owls Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 That is gonna be one sweet looking guitar man! I love it! At the end of the day adding the frequensator just means a couple of extra holes near the strap pin, and taking it off is easily reversible. Is that custom made plate one from an ebay seller? Are you gonna fill the tailpiece holes or just put the plate over them? I got one when I fitted a bigsby to my '84 Matsumoko Riviera and it wouldn't stay on after I peeled off the sticky backing! I dirtied mine up with acrylic paint to take the whiteness off and make it look 25 years old, like my guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supersonic Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Great looking guitar. Looks almost like the one Noel Gallagher played in the 90's on the Be Here Now tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 this. Pretty sure his was original though, with no modifications and no need for a custom plate to cover up the tail-piece holes as none were ever there, but you've done a helluva job on yours! Looks great! P.S. You might as well get the Manchester City football club sticker to put on the pickguard as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes mate, that was my inspiration, Noel's were late 60s Sheratons I might even get the whole thing refinished with the Union Jack, wont need the custom plate then. As for the manshi**y sticker?

jonny_2_owls Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I read/heard somewhere that the Sheraton Noel used on that tour and also at knebworth was one of the 250 limited guitars epiphone produced in the USA in 'the early/mid 90's. They also did 250 rivieras and some acoustics too. There is a video on YouTube where Noel talks a bit about his guitars and he has the very Sheraton there. Search Noel gallagher guitars on YouTube, pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AS90 Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 Im loving this guitar even more since I fitted the freq, the 11s feel like slinky 9s and the tone has a lot more going on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
