Epiphone Sheraton (Korean-Made) 1986 - 1988 - Tobacco Sunburst

A vintage 1980s Epiphone Sheraton, built in Korea at the renowned Samick factory during a short production run between 1986 and 1988. This model features the highly sought-after “Epiphone by Gibson” branding, including a rare factory misprint on the headstock that reads “Epiphon by Gibson.”

The guitar is in great condition overall, with ornate inlays, gold hardware, and original electronics. The only issue is a stuck tone pot, which I’ve opted not to repair so the buyer can keep it original or mod as desired. It still plays and sounds fantastic. There are a couple small scuffs on the guitar. please refer to the pictures in the listing for condition.

These Korean Sheratons from the late '80s are well-regarded for their craftsmanship and tone, and they’re increasingly hard to find—especially with quirks like this misprinted headstock logo.

Includes a hard shell case. Feel free to message with questions or if you'd like additional photos.
