Full front view of 1987 Epiphone Sheraton in Vintage Burst laid on patterned rug
Here’s a stunner from the golden age of Epiphone — this 1987 Epiphone Sheraton in Vintage Burst is a top-tier example of Korean craftsmanship from the revered Samick factory. Built during the early days of Epiphone’s overseas production, these Sheratons have rightly earned their place as some of the best the brand ever released — full of vintage character, reliable build quality, and killer tone.
This one is no exception. Loaded with all the classy Sheraton trimmings — gold hardware, mother-of-pearl block inlays, binding everywhere, and a properly eye-catching Vintage Burst finish that’s aged like fine wine.
 
It’s in fantastic shape for its age, with only a few marks to show for its 35+ years. Fully set up and playing beautifully, this one’s ready to go — be it on stage, in the studio, or as the crown jewel in your collection.
 
A true sleeper of the semi-hollow world — these early Korean Sheratons are going up in value, and it’s easy to see why.
