![]() Interesting back story on the sheraton ii's (taken from the Gibson forum): Here's a case where yes I probably could find cheaper, but chose not to lose a superior instrument in search of a lower price. I walked in expecting to bargain down to 600 or even less. It had some significant upgrades, including a Dearmond 2000 in the bridge spot, excellent TOM bridge, and Sperzel locking tuners. You can buy these used if you're patient for under 500. I've owned three Peerless made guitars, including the early Epi ES-295 I have now. You might be willing to pay more, but if you try to sell it you'll hit that ceiling as a seller. 500 seems to be a practical limit on the Sheraton, short of some unique mods or something like that. The tricky part is that functional value and build quality don't mean much. No idea whether Peerless made better examples, but the Samick made Sheraton was real sweet. So much so, I looked for and found a Samick, a 90 SAT650. ![]() My friend has an early 90s Samick made Epiphone which is quite an instrument. ![]() I love Peerless made stuff, also Samick made guitars.
