[QUOTE="The Prowler, post: 1419197, member: 1301"] Only......[I]this [/I]is what I said..... Which is [B][SIZE=6]not [/SIZE][/B]a Sheraton II, you [B][SIZE=5]ignorant jackass!!![/SIZE][/B] Hahahahaha!!!! Here....I did a Google search for you..... " Japanese-made Epiphone Sheratons are highly regarded for their exceptional build quality, often considered superior to their contemporary counterparts. The "VSB" refers to the [B]Vintage Sunburst finish[/B]. Overview of Japanese Epiphone Sheratons (VSB) [LIST] [*][B]Production Era:[/B] Japanese-made Sheratons were primarily built from the late 1970s until 1986 at the Matsumoku factory, and later by the Terada factory, exclusively for the Japanese domestic market, often until around the early 1990s. [*][B]Quality:[/B] They have a stellar reputation among collectors and players for craftsmanship that rivals, and sometimes exceeds, American-made Gibson ES-335s of the same era. [*][B]Finish:[/B] The VSB (Vintage Sunburst) finish gives the guitar a classic aesthetic, typically a black-on-deep-red or black-on-orange-yellow gradient. [*][B]VSB vs. Sheraton II:[/B] The term "VSB" denotes the color, while "Sheraton II" typically indicates a model with a fixed stop bar tailpiece rather than the earlier Frequensator. [/LIST] Key Features [LIST] [*][B]Construction:[/B] Semi-hollow body design with a set, glued-in neck. [*][B]Materials:[/B] Feature figured maple bodies, maple or 3-piece maple/walnut necks, and high-quality rosewood or Indian rosewood fretboards. [*][B]Hardware:[/B] Often equipped with high-quality components for the time, such as Grover tuners. Some models came with a Frequensator tailpiece, while later Sheraton II models featured a Stop-Bar. [*][B]Inlays:[/B] A signature aesthetic feature is the block and triangle (mother-of-pearl and abalone) fretboard inlays and the fancy vine inlay on the headstock, which distinguishes it from the dot or simple block inlays of other models like the Epiphone Dot or some Gibson versions. [*][B]"Epiphone by Gibson" Headstock:[/B] Many models from the 1980s may feature "Epiphone by Gibson" on the headstock, indicating the brand's association during that period. [/LIST] Collectibility and Value [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][SIZE=7]Japanese Sheratons are considered highly valuable vintage instruments due to their rarity and build quality.[/SIZE][/COLOR][/B] They are sought after by collectors and players alike. Current market values for these guitars can vary based on condition, year of production, and originality. " [/QUOTE]
