Epiphone Sheraton II VS
Got this about the same time as the Casino. It just arrived this evening. Looks and sounds great. It is more three tone burst. The Casino looks more like two tone. I like how the neck is burst as well. This one is made in Korea and has stock Grover tuners. The electronics are stock as far as I can tell. They sound pretty nice. I think it could use new strings. Looks wonderful!

Those two cover a lot of ground for you I bet! Nice buy.

Re: Epiphone Sheraton II VS
Very nice! Those Korean Sheratons were usually made by Samick or Peerless and tend to be fantastic guitars.
I used one as my main for years - I find the pickups to be only okay and the switch to be something you’d need to change before it fails ... but these guitars are totally worth the cost of a set of Bareknuckles or Antiquities... nice score! Happy NGD!

THERE it is!
Nicely done - that is a sweet pair. I have a black MIK as well. Mine was made in the Saein factory ("I" serial number). It's one of the nicest guitars I've ever owned. The craftsmanship in the binding and inlays is just beautiful. I made a few changes to mine, but in the end it's bumped my Jazzmaster for the number one spot.
HNGD!

Thanks! There is a chance the switch is updated already. It works great and has no noises when switching. The pots looked to be full size inside from what I could see through the F hole.

Mine were full-sized and seemed to be of a bit better quality than the ones in my Dot. They weren't there long... but in the time they were, I was shocked with how the stock electronics in my Sheraton were absolutely dead quiet.

It is my third. I had a natural one I sold stupidly. My second was a burst, but it smelled like an ashtray.... This one is awesome.

I still want one of these. I had a 2001 Korean made Dot for a while and I really loved it. I have kicked myself for selling it over the years.

I had one that was made by the Korean maker, Unsung,. Stupidly large peghead but it played extremely well and I customized it quite a bit, including adding a B7 Bigsby.

Lots of love for these! These will definitely cover a lot of ground.
