The Jeffrey Foskett Collection - Custom Epiphone Sheraton 12 String

Truetone Music is proud to be partnered with the legendary musician and songwriter Jeffrey Foskett in offering instruments out of his collection.   Each comes with a signed certificate verifying the authenticity of this instrument; assuring that it has been used on tour, in studio or personally by him.  During his years with the Beach Boys, Brian Wilson, Ringo Starr and his own solo career, various instruments were used and very few have become available, until now.  

One of the most exciting pieces from his collection is this Epiphone Sheraton 12 String.  It's an extremely rare guitar, as in it's the only one in existence, custom made for Carl Wilson  Not only that, but Jeffrey Foskett used it on for years, including on the Beach Boys 50th Anniversary Tour.  And, to add to that, it was played nightly on the Brian Wilson tour by none other than Jeff Beck.  


The guitar features a special plate on the body, reading "Custom Made" - so there's no doubt what this is!  The dual tortoise shell pickguards really frame the guitar's body, which is a gorgeous maple.  Be sure to view all of the photos to not only see the grain, but also how good of condition it's in.  The maple neck is extremely comfortable to play, and is topped with a nicely grained rosewood fretboard, accented by beautiful pearl and abalone inlays.  Check out the headstock inlay as well - it's stunning.  The guitar sounds amazing too - so not only is it a collectors dream piece, but it's something that can be (and should be!) put to use to make new music.

This Custom Epiphone Sheraton 12 is special in general, and holds special pedigree.  Jeffrey Foskett has owned it, and just recently decided to part with it.  It's in excellent condition - especially considering it was used on tour.  All of the parts are original, and it comes with the original hardshell case.  The signed Certificate of Authenticity is included.  As an added bonus, we've included a full box set of memorabilia and recordings, as follows:
  • The Beach Boys "That's Why God Made the Radio" vinyl LP
  • The Beach Boys "That's Why God Made the Radio" CD
  • The Beach Boys "Smile" double CD box set
  • Brian Wilson "Presents Smile" CD box set
  • Brian Wilson "That Lucky Old Sun" box set
  • Jeffrey Foskett "Stars in the Sand" CD
This instrument has been vetted and worked on by Truetone Music. Rest assured that you are receiving not only a fine instrument, but also a rare piece of musical history.
