hi guys , it must have been over a year ago i let go of my sheraton (i regreted it the next day) anyway last week what do i spy on gumtree , my old 97 sheri , so i phones the guy and haggles a good price and now she's mines again , and now i know why i let it go as well , it's the only one of my 3 buckered guitars that isn't wired 50's style ( with pio caps) , so last night i made a loom up , i also had to use mini pots as the f holes on the older models are tiny , so just waiting on the caps arriving through the week sometime . i fitted a SD 57 in the bridge and a jazz at the neck when i first got it , but i might swap out the jazz , it's a bit bassy for my liking (great woman tone though ) :mrgreen: and here's a pic

This is a great guitar , I had one ten years ago and I sell it when I bought 1981 Gibson 335 Custom Shop . IMO Sheraton I had is a better guitar for the price .

I had always wanted one in the now hard to find tobacco sunburst. Instead I cheaped out and bought the Dot Deluxe with the flamed maple top. I'll have one someday.

Congrats...If this doesn't fit the 'ol "If you Lover Her Let Her Go..." then nothing does. It must have been meant to be...Enjoy it.

hi , stratmansteve , i picked up one of those dot dlx a few years ago , before i got the sheri, it hangs on my nephews wall now
t2 i'm pretty sure once i get the 50's wiring into her it'll be love all over again , i wound up the jcm800 a bit today and the neck pup isn't actually too bad :D , i'll see how it gets on at rehersalls on wednesday evening , it certainly has a healthy set of dangly bits to it's sound through the half stack :lol: , cheers
