POST # 554 EBAY PRICE GUIDE: Epiphone Sheraton Electric Guitar John Lee Hooker

An 'as new' limited edition Epiphone made in the USA. Scroll down to see how much it sold for. Here's the blurb from the seller.






This is number 68 of a total production of 220 units made. I have had this guitar for about three years and never played it. It looks as though it was never played. It comes with the case. Below are details from the original description from Epiphone.

> There was only one John Lee Hooker, father of footstompin

boogie, the Boogie Man, the Crawling Kingsnake.

He introduced to the world a chugging country rhythm behind

amplified blues and a gruff emotional voice. And on top was a

starkly intense guitar, that greatly influenced a number of

young rock and rollers in the 60s and 70s including the Rolling

Stones, the Yardbirds and ZZ Top. John Lee was associated

with a variety Epiphone archtops, but most closely with the ‘64

Sheraton. This “outdid” ES-335 has been duplicated exactly, to

the original 1964 specifications... Boogie on!
