Are you interested in a year 2000 blonde Westerly SFV? Cheap price. It's not mine. That period is great IMO
If you ever see one of these available, they’re well worth checking out. It’s a John Lee Hooker Sheraton from it’s initial year, 2000 (not to be confused with a Korean JLH model that preceded it). The nitro-finished bodies were made by Terada in Japan, then sent to Gibson in Nashville for installation of pickups & hardware. Construction is a notch above the well regarded Epi Elitist Sheraton, which was fully made by Terada in Japan. Neck playability is superb, and overall imho, this model is as good as it gets beyond scoring an original (and very expensive!) Kalamazoo Sheraton.
Yes, for a while it felt like I was making a living off of GC goof ups! Picked up my JLH a number of years ago for $1299 with the brown case (currently housing a Gibson ES-330L), which was well below the typical asking price, even then.Damn, this makes me miss mine. I nabbed one off the GC site for $300 with the brown leather/pink lined hardshell case a couple years back that was tagged as a regular korean sheraton II, best deal I ever got.
I had one of those (not the current but an earlier made I think in Korea) and it was a very nice guitar but the neck was horribly thin. Some folks like them skinny necks so...For what it's worth, I just saw that Gibson/Epi is doing another reissue the 60's Riviera w/ Mini Hums and Frequensator tailpiece.
MIC, but still looks like a nice guitar at a reasonable price (around 699.99 out the door w/o case).
Hi-I have a MIJ/AIUSA blonde Sheraton for sale. Please message me (or email musicofanatic55*AT*gmail*DOT*com) if you have any interest. Thanks!I am looking for one of them but they are very rare...I was able to track one AIUSA (that is a JLH produced after he died without his signature) but the seller refused to ship it outside the US, that was a real bummer for me.
P.S. Everytime I see a Sheraton I realise how much input Guild received from Epiphone before it was bought by Gibson.
Why don't you post the particulars in FS/FT, with pics? We love pics.Hi-I have a MIJ/AIUSA blonde Sheraton for sale. Please message me (or email musicofanatic55*AT*gmail*DOT*com) if you have any interest. Thanks!

I’ve seen other brands listed in the past - should be okay. I’d also enjoy seeing pics of your natural AIUSA Sheraton, just to compare it to my own sunburst!Is it permitted to post non-Guild guitars for sale?
