Here's a Masterbilt reissue of Gem Archer's '66 Epiphone Sheraton, which he got as a gift from Noel Gallagher. This Masterbilt Gem Archer Sheraton is built to the same standards as the "Inspired by Gibson Custom" models and features the same double diamond logo on the back of the headstock. The Gem Archer Sheraton has a semi-hollowbody construction of five-ply maple and poplar with a maple center block. The one-piece mahogany neck has a comfortable '60s C-profile and is fitted with a rosewood fingerboard featuring 22 medium-jumbo frets and adorned with mother-of-pearl block inlays and abalone inlays. The electronics are top-of-the-line and consist of two USA-made Gibson Mini Humbucker™ pickups. High-quality CTS® potentiometers and Mallory™ capacitors are used, as well as a Switchcraft® 3-way switch.
