1999 Epiphone Sheraton II is made in Korea by the Samick factory. The workmanship is much higher quality than the 2008 and on made in China Epiphones. Not just my opinion but definitely couldn't give me a post-China Epiphone. This one is a stunner. It has been upgraded with a brass RTO patented surface-mount vibrato bridge, Gotoh locking tuners and GraphTech nut. String currently are .010 ~ .046 while the tremolo/vibrato bridge will handle even up to .012 ~ .056 with no change of springs, just easy preload adjustment. The frets have been leveled, radius, and polished. First time for this guitar so plenty of frets and the neck is perfectly straight. All work professionally done. - The RTO bridge is a no-modification install and all stock parts come with the guitar if ever the desire to return to stock. Refer to last photos. The RTO patented full-floating bridge is what's been needed through all these Bigsby years. This particular brass version sells for $675.00. Outperforms at every step and every level. Absolute money back guarantee on this tremolo bridge. I am the designer, patent holder, and fabricator of this system. I love this particular guitar with the all-brass version of my tremolo. If I sell this one, I will replace it with another MIK Sheraton II and install my bridge. I've owned many ES335's, they've all received my tremolo bridge. My bridge will most likely outlive the guitar. No maintenance, no failures out of over 150 produced and being used. This Sheraton II is the best Large Semi-Hollow I've personally owned.
