Description

This is an Epiphone Sheraton semi hollow electric guitar made in Japan in 1991, serial number 14188. According to the shop, it was made by Terada, a Japanese guitar factory. The photos show a flamed top with f holes, two humbucking pickups, a bound neck with block inlays, a headstock with a vine inlay, and a long tailpiece. The neck is straight and the shop has confirmed that the guitar works. Please note that the truss rod is too stiff to turn, which the shop believes is from over tightening, so neck adjustment may need a repair shop. The guitar is sold without a case. Please see all photos for the exact condition and details of this guitar before buying.

History & Rarity

The Sheraton has been one of Epiphone's top semi hollow models since it was introduced in 1958. This example was made in Japan in 1991, by Terada according to the shop.

  • Repair, replacement and legal guarantee

    We are a professional seller based in Japan. Almost all of the items we sell are used or vintage, and most are one-of-a-kind - we hold only a single unit of each item.



    For consumers habitually resident in an EU Member State - that is, if you are buying mainly for purposes outside your trade, business, craft or profession, and the consumer law of an EU Member State applies to your purchase:




    • If your item has a lack of conformity covered by the applicable legal guarantee, please message us through eBay before returning it. You may choose between repair and replacement. Where the law requires it, the remedy is provided free of the necessary costs to you.


    • Your chosen remedy may not be available if it is impossible, or if compared with the other remedy it would impose disproportionate costs on us. Because our items are used and one-of-a-kind, an identical replacement unit is often not available. If the conditions under the applicable law are met, you may instead be entitled to a proportionate price reduction, or to terminate the purchase and receive a refund. Termination may not be available for a minor lack of conformity.


    • If repair is carried out as the legal remedy, the seller's liability period is normally extended once by at least 12 months. The national law that applies to your purchase may provide a longer period, or a different system giving equivalent protection. We will tell you which rule applies to your purchase, and explain your choice between repair and replacement, before we provide the remedy.



    For buyers outside the European Union: the information above reflects European Union consumer law and applies where that law governs the purchase. Your purchase remains subject to the returns policy shown in this listing, the eBay Money Back Guarantee, and any mandatory rights that apply under the law governing your purchase.
