Anyone have, or know of someone wanting to sell an Epiphone Sheraton in WHITE?

Thanks for your response!

Tom, Hi. Say I've never seen an Epihpone Sheritan in white. But, I have seen a Gretch model in white. White must be a custom model?

10-4 on the Sheraton! I've sold a couple of 335's while keeping my Sheraton. I have the tobacco sunburst one with the gold hardware. I've never seen a white one either. I have seen the black version though. I have mine custom wired where only the top volume and tone controls work in all combinations. Where the bottom knobs were I still have the knobs but they're now attached to pull pots. The front one puts the pickups out of phase and the rear knob tapps both pickups. Looking at the guitar it's got the normal appearance but lookout for that "stealth" wireing..........JH in Va.

Jerry, I've got the tobacco sunburst with gold as well. No custom wiring... but it sure looks and sounds damn good!

Travis, I also have one of those vibratos on mine that I ordered from Stewart/McDonald's catalog. It just slides on where the stud tailpiece was and works just like a Bigsby, no modification to the guitar at all. You just take off the stud tailpiece and the height adjustment bolts and slip in the bolts they furnish with the unit, slide on the vibrato, string it up and it's ready to go. You can do the whole installation, including stringing the guitar in about 15 minutes tops. It's a very stable unit and doesn't detune when you bend strings.....JH in Va.

I have a very nice Sheraton ll in the natural finish. Is that what you mean by white ? I have never seen a white one.
This guitar has been played very little and has the expensive Gibson case with the pink satin lining. E-mail me if you want a photo.

Epiphone made a pearl/artic white Sheraton in the late 90's...with gold hardware and a red tortise shell pickguard. I bid on one a few days ago on ebay...but lost the bid by $5.00!!! They are out there, but finding one in good condition is not that easy.
Thanks all for your responses.
