Epiphone Masterbilt Gem Archer Sheraton - Cherry Red

The Epiphone Masterbilt Gem Archer Sheraton celebrates the iconic sound and style of guitarist Gem Archer—known for his work with Oasis, Beady Eye, and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds. Inspired by the original Sheraton that Noel gifted Gem, this model captures that same legendary tone, look, and feel with upgraded components and construction that meet Epiphone’s Masterbilt standards.

The Sheraton is an original Epiphone design first introduced in 1958, and this reimagined version brings that legacy into the modern era with premium craftsmanship and electronics comparable to the Inspired by Gibson Custom line.
