mydeadblues Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I finally got my hands on a "tobacco" vintage sunburst sheraton! I've been wanting one of these forever but I never had the extra cash to buy one when they popped up, plus I fell in love with my white sheraton I bought about a year ago. It was posted on craigslist for $300 in a city two hours from where I live. I ended up talking the guy down to $250 and it came with an OHS epi case! The guitar looks untouched, there's not a single ding or scratch on her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSDx Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Beautiful!!! I'm a sucker for the more "natural" colored finishes ..... tobacco, and honey, maybe sun, come to mind That's a beaut!!! Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabar Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 That's my favorite finish on a Sheraton --- at $250 with a hardshell case, your face may be showing up on "Wanted" posters soon for theivery! Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydeadblues Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 Ya I hope I'm not on any "Wanted" ads...but I'll take the risk . It's my favorite finish for sheratons too, I wish I could find a riviera in this color. I am haggling with a guy for a vintage sunburst riviera which should fill the void. I'll post it if I end up getting it. I hope the guy that sold it isn't kicking himself too hard, he ended up being a really cool dude and a descent guitarist, but at $250 I'd be kicking myself...LSAR I did notice the € on the pick guard was pretty thick too, there's a tobacco burst sheraton on eBay with the same € so I think mine's okay. It did catch my eye though so the pick guard might end up coming off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
