Second Hand 1984 Epiphone Sheraton (Matsumoku, Japan) – Antique Sunburst w/Maxon MMK-75s & OHSC

w/OHSC

From the words of  The Chief himself  "This is history, this is history, right here, right now. This is history"

Up for sale is an exceptionally well-preserved, collector-grade 1984 Epiphone Sheraton in its original, vibrant Antique Sunburst gloss finish. Manufactured during the golden era of Japanese production at the legendary Matsumoku factory, this specific model year is famously celebrated as the definitive blueprint for Noel Gallagher’s early Oasis-era main stage guitars.

This instrument is in remarkable cosmetic shape for its age, showing pristine multi-ply binding with zero rot, a clean headstock face with the iconic "Tree of Life" pearloid inlay, and stunning abalone-loaded V-block fret markers. The rear of the body shows a mirror-like finish with zero buckle rash. The original gold-stamped serial number 4073661 remains fully legible on the back of the headstock, dating the guitar to July 1984. Due to the unavoidable zinc-decay common to 1980s Japanese pot metal, the bridge and tailpiece have been upgraded to high-quality aftermarket replacements.

Also features the original, untouched factory-installed Maxon-made MMK-75 humbuckers. These are highly expressive, Alnico-based PAF-style units reading beautifully in the low-8k ohm range, delivering incredible note separation and woody semi-hollow warmth.
