    I’ve been watching Guitar Of The Day since Mark Agnesi was doing it. This has got to be the coolest guitar you’ve ever done. I started playing in 1962, started collecting catalogs almost right away. I had an Epiphone catalog from maybe ‘64, snd the Sheraton was the one I lusted over. I’ve never owned one, but I did have a ‘61 Epiphone Broadway in the mid-‘70s. Another one I wish I’d kept, but I did OK-I traded it in on a ‘59 Tele. I’d love to see Epiphone do a proper reissue of the Sheraton, or maybe the three-pickup thin-body Emperor..

    Hey Norm, great to see you! Enjoyed the playing of the Sheraton, well done. It's funny though because when I think of a Sheraton I tend to think of Roye Albrighton of Nektar fame. He was a master with that guitar in a completely different style of music from what Jack played. Roye and his band had their own unique style of progressive rock with a lot of effects like Leslies and echoplex and fuss but I always liked the tone of his guitar, clean and not so clean.

      @jackryansullivan6038 Před rokem

      @@mr.astrophysics9115 I wouldn’t call what they’re making ‘high end models’, they’re more higher low end guitars, but still more on the entry level side. I have a fantastic 2021 Epiphone Les Paul Custom, but it’s a dog compared to my early 70’s Gibson Les Paul Custom. There is a certain feel that the American guitars have that only very few have ever matched; Fender Japan and Epiphone Elitist models being those.
      The Chinese/Indonesian/Korean guitars can be pretty good, but they’re not USA Gibsons. They’re intentionally made to a lesser quality.

The delicate quality of the tone takes you back to an old record - it pays to get there early with norm for deals like this - they always go early - norms channel preserves for time the sweetness of the tone these guitars make...tomorrow it will be Lemmo playing Van Halen on a pink bc rich. Such is norms...New cover - 'Losing my Religion" on my channel - see top. the Cat
