Epiphone's Elite Sheraton for Uncompromised Looks, Feel and Sound! Epiphone issued a challenge to every guitar player with their introduction of the Elitist Series: "If you can find a better guitar... BUY IT!" And the new Elitist Sheraton continues the pride of workmanship and sound quality Epiphone puts into these guitars. Just as the other Elitist models soon began showing up in the hands of top guitarists all over the world, the Sheraton could be your "once in a lifetime" instrument! Epiphone Elitist Sheraton at a Glance: Premium quality hand-made guitar Made of 5-ply maple with mahogany set neck Vintage Sunburst finish "Made in USA" Mini-Humbucker pickups from Gibson Grover tuners with Imperial buttons, 3-way pickup selector and 24K gold hardware A professional's instrument Designed for the professional musician, the Elitist Sheraton from Epiphone combines over 125 years of instrument building experience and expertise with the finest materials. This guitar is a premium instrument bursting with impeccable quality, beauty and sound. Elitist wood creates a masterpiece guitar At the heart of every great instrument is the wood itself. That's why the Elitist Sheraton has hand-selected 5-ply maple top, back and sides. The wood is slowly and painstakingly dried to perfection in custom kilns until it is at the ideal moisture content. The Elitist Sheraton's mahogany neck is cut at a 14-grain orientation from one piece of wood for optimum strength, stability and tonal response. As done with all great instruments, the Sheraton's neck is then carefully and individually fitted to the body using a hand-glued, dovetail neck joint. Add a rosewood fingerboard and the Sheraton becomes a guitar player's dream! Gibson-made pickups and quality controls The Elitist Sheraton is equipped with custom-wound Mini-Humbucker pickups "Made in the USA" exclusively for Epiphone by Gibson Musical Instruments. The rhythm pickup, a 60NYR USA New York Mini-HB, offers up rich, warm chords. The treble pickup is a 60NYT USA New York Mini-HB that delivers commanding lead sounds. Classic Grover tuners and premium electronics The Elitist Sheraton features precision Grover machine heads with Imperial buttons for unsurpassed tuning stability. Quality follows the entire construction - all pickup covers use quality German silver with a 24K gold finish. Four-conductor wiring allows for all possible wiring combinations. Every pickup is potted in a special wax bath to ensure that microphonic feedback due to internal vibration is eliminated. All covered models receive a second wax bath to further protect the pickup. All magnets are magnetized by Gibson to ensure total reliability - critical magnetic flux is maintained for the perfect combination of output without sacrificing tonal characteristics. No-compromise guitar construction for premium looks, feel and sound! At least once in every guitar player's life he or she deserves to have that "ultimate" axe - the no-compromise instrument that combines looks, feel and sound and just fits right from the first touch. The Epiphone Elitist Sheraton is one of those instruments! Don't pass up your chance to have this premium guitar. Call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer today!
