The cherry  Sherri' looks the biz.  And  I don't think it has been available in this colour/model. Without bigsby..  

Yes they are £469 0n Amazon at the moment.

I'd rather go to a decent store, check it and try it out personally and I'm sure they'd do a deal to price match anyway.  If you do buy on the internet, even from someone else, then if you called the store I'm sure they'd price match with Amazon anyway. 

Re case, I honestly recommend you get one - or at least a good quality well padded gig bag, to protect your new pride & joy when not in use.  Even at home, accidents can happen - you guitar could fall, get scratched, dented or worse - and don't forget semi's are more fragile than solids.  In the words of Dell boy:



Re the Korean p/ups, they actually sound pretty decent.  I only changed mine because they went microphonic.  You can hear my '89 Sherry here from 6:02 to 8:25.

I watched your video on youtube earlier they sound good to me ! Are these the originals or the replacements ?

Seen your vid  before voxman'.sounds ace! Did you just change pickups or go the whole hog ? Wiring loom ,pots,switch,jack etc?
Can message me,rather than thread hijack..
Cheers

I'd like to know as well.

What's the opinion on Epiphone Les Paul ES Pro, another Epiphone semi-hollow? 

Voxman

That vid was with the original Epiphone pups before I put in the SD SH1 59s..sounds even better now of course, but the stock pups were not bad at all as you can hear. Wiring loom, jack and switches/pots are still all stock original.

marktheharp

It sounds brill  with the stock pickups,so must be unreal with Duncan's..  
Or is it all snake oil... ?
My Sherri is a recent Chinese,all stock... would be interesting to do a shootout....

@andy1839 ;What's the VIP discount and how do you get it ? Just looked on their website and they all seem to be £499 inc the Ebony?

I've bought a few things from them, just sort of ended up with the discount. I've just got to buy something every six months to keep it going, even if it's a single plectrum.

Totally agree. My Casino Coupe is terrific for the money. The affinity Tele I played was stunning.

Picked this Sheraton up last week. Fine condition for an 11 year old guitar. Since last week when it arrived stock its had a new set of Tonerider alnico 2 pups, 4 CTS pots and Bumble Bee Caps and all the wiring upgraded. It was a git of a job but well worth it. I found the original pickups very good but a little bit muddy. The new pups have made this guitar absolutely superb. Will put up more pics but struggle with photobucket.

Voxman

Hiya Mark - you haven't posted the pics correctly, so I've posted these below for you.  Looks very nice and many congrats:
