Epiphone Masterbilt Gem Archer Sheraton Electric Guitar in Cherry Red

Inspired by Gems original 1966 Epiphone Sheraton, the Epiphone Masterbilt Gem Archer Sheraton pays tribute to one of the most influential guitarists in popular music over the last 30 years. From Oasis through to Beady Eye, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, as well as so many more, Gem Archer’s versatile lead and rhythm playing and signature tone have been a fundamental component of the Britpop genre.

Originally gifted to Gem from Noel Gallagher, this cherished vintage semi-hollow quickly became his go-to. The Epiphone Masterbilt Gem Archer Sheraton pays tribute to this iconic guitar with features way above its price point. Its duo of USA-made Gibson Mini Humbucker pickups provide the genuine rock n roll tone and perfectly accentuates the unique tone and resonant sustain of an Epiphone semi-hollow electric guitar. Its CTS pots in combination with Mallory tone caps help further provide authentic vintage-voiced tone as well as road and stage-ready performance. Built to the high standard of the Epiphone Inspired by Custom range, this signature electric is built to perform. It’s comfortable 60s C-shaped neck feels fluid and comfortable up and down the fingerboard, and its gold ABR-1 bridge with Diamon Trapeze tailpiece and Grover tuners help provide rock-solid stability and eye-catching looks.
