Because it doesn't look like the Sheratons built in Samick's Korea plant in the 90s. But broadly this is the same guitar, and one that, in the early years of manufacture in Japan and Korea stood up to the quality of the earlier US-produced models.Īdvertised when bought in 2002 as a 1994 model, it's always been a bit of a mystery.
From Mini-Humbuckers to Standard Humbuckers, from Frequensator tailpiece to Stopbar. Like Fender Telecasters, they're one of those guitars that prove the maxim "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", with only occasional changes to spec over the last 60 years. A different question as to whether he played it on the studio recording, but when he crashes into the final as-close-to-a-lead-solo-as-you'll-get-from-The-Edge bars, I know that sound, and I'm back, lost & happy, on Bourbon Street.Įpiphone have been producing Sheratons since 1958. It makes it into the "As Made Famous By" collection with The Edge playing it on the video for All Because Of You, the 2005 release from How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb. As it has for so many others: John Lee Hooker, Matthew Followill, Tom Delonge, and, most famously, Noel Gallagher (check out the close-relative Epiphone Supernova in the collection). This guy played on the stage, on the bar, out in the street - and this guitar just sang.
A lost afternoon, the best of afternoons. But the band opened up with an electrifying cover of Bob Dylan's Tangled Up In Blue, and just shook the place for 3 hours solid from there. To my regret and to my shame, I can't remember the Bourbon Street bar's name, nor the guitarist's name. But this one bought shortly after being blown away by a Bourbon Street guitarist playing his heart out in 2002. Well, to be honest, you could point to almost any guitar and find a picture of The Edge playing it.
