Epiphone Limited Edition Union Jack Sheraton Outfit Overview
Epiphone celebrates the 50th anniversary of the British Invasion honouring Epiphone's long association with the royalty of British Rock and Roll with the Ltd. Edition "Union Jack" Sheraton Outfit in an Alpine White finish with the iconic "Union Jack" design. Inspired by Oasis guitarist, Noel Gallagher's hand-painted Union Jack Sheraton, the modern Ltd. Ed "Union Jack" Sheraton Outfit shares all of the vintage Sheraton's classic styling. The body and top are made of 5-layer laminated maple with Epiphone- designed "Union Jack" stripes are over a pristine Alpine White finish. The body has single layer Ivory binding on the top, back, and fingerboard and 3-layer ivory and black binding around the headstock.The Mahogany neck has a 1960s SlimTaperGäó neck shape that is hand-set for perfect intonation. The 60s SlimTaperGäóneck shape is modeled after prime vintage examples and offers a comfortable fit that makes it easy for players to move back and forth between lead and rhythm. The 24.75" scale neck has a 12" Rosewood fingerboard with "Block and Triangle" inlays made from Pearloid and Abalone and has 22 medium jumbo frets with a 1.68" nut. Inside the upper f- hole, Epiphone has included a vintage styled blue rectangle label with serial number and model name, just as British rockers from the 60s would have found in in their Sheraton. The "Union Jack's" headstock is also inspired by the earliest Epiphone Sheratons with a Sloped Dovewing shape, a historic Epiphone "Vine" inlay in Pearloid, and the familiar "bullet" shaped black and white 2-layer truss rod cover. Machine Heads are Grover® Rotomatic with a super pro 18:1 tuning ratio.
The Ltd. Ed. "Union Jack" Sheraton Outfit is powered by the connoisseur's favourite pickup, the Gibson USA Mini-Humbucker. For many discerning guitarists, the mini-humbucker hits the perfect spot. Fuller than a single coil but more detailed than a humbucker, mini-humbuckers offer a player tremendous range and focus with a distinctive low end and an articulate high end that can easily overdrive for blues or stay clean for pop. The "Union Jack" Sheraton's standard volume and tone controls are Tops Hats with metal inserts and are wired with CTS® potentiometers. The Sheraton is also set off by gold hardware including the LockToneGäó Tune-o-matic bridge, the -+" Epiphone Heavy Duty non-rotating input jack, and the vintage touch of the Epiphone FrequensatorGäó tailpiece. The FrequensatorGäó can be seen on Epiphone instruments as far back as the mid 1930s and helps to give the Sheraton not only maximum sustain but also super accurate intonation. The Ltd. Ed. "Union Jack" Sheraton Outfit comes with a 1960s style vintage hard case with a gray exterior and blue interior along with a Certificate of Authenticity, a guitar user's manual, and more.
