1961 Sheraton sighting
Posted: Tue Mar 13, 2018 8:17 pm
Hey all,
Just thought I would report on something I just came across online. I haven't been searching the web for guitars as much as I used to, so I'm not sure how long this one has been up for sale. It's a relatively obscure (though a veteran) dealer that has it, so I figured that it was less likely to have been noticed. Anyway, it's a sunburst '61 Sheraton at McKenzie River Music in Eugene, OR: http://www.mckenzierivermusic.com/08676.html
It's too bad that the neck had to be refinned, but to my eyes it looks really good. Usually when someone refins a sunburst, it sticks out like a sore thumb. The price may be a tad high considering the neck finish job, but these short headstock models don't grow on trees (although I know some of the parts do ).
