G'day all,
I picked her two weeks back and have run the S/N's = Made in Unsung Korea, April 2009 w/3 piece maple neck. It is an absolutely stunning guitar, got a set up into the sale price and it plays beautifully; I can't say enough good things about these. I did try some Gibby ES-335's for comparison and the Gibby was very nice also - but the Sherry holds it's own I have to say and I came away with the guitar wanted. :)
Upgrades to follow - 57's, new wiring and switches + Bigsby.
The maple figured finish is actually gorgeous ... the caramel/honey burst works for me I have to say and blends so well with the gold hardware that I'm keeping the gold as is; it doesn't stick out at all on this finish - it gleams like the highlights of honeyed goodness which only serves to underpin her classy curves. She takes her place beside my Gretsch.
So without further ado ...
