mydeadblues Posted September 21, 2011 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.
EpiEric Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Nice score. Sounds like you got a very good price considering the condition and the HSC. HNGD!
RaSTuS Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Terrific find MDB, at a fantastic price too, hope you two make beautiful music together, HNGD.
Supersonic Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 VERY nice axe and you got a great deal too. Sounds like a perfect transaction to me. HNDG!
Aster1 Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Niiiiiiice! Love that tobacco color too. Great price too. Aster
damian Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Beautiful guitar......Amazing price as well...... ( I don't usually like those Tobacco Bursts, but that one looks nice.....congrats......)
LSAR Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 HNGD! Wish it was mine, and btw, that's one thick €...
eggs Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Seriously beautiful MDB ... Whoops, 'Honey's gettin' all jealous again
BillyGibson Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Beautiful. Whomever sold it will be kicking himself in three days.
RSDx Posted September 22, 2011 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
Parabar Posted September 23, 2011 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!
mydeadblues Posted September 23, 2011 Author 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.

rubyred Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Beautiful guitar - great find - happy picking!
buliwyf Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Congrats on a great score,I had one many years ago and still not much can touch the sweet tone of a Sheraton.
Heilly Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 He shoots.... he scores! HNGD. Beautiful guitfiddle at an amazing price. I wish we had desperate Craigslisters here in Denver! Enjoy!
