Jon Auer's Gear

"The main guitar I've played for the last four years is an Epiphone Sheraton II. It was a birthday gift from my extended family so it has some of that good mojo going for it. I used it on the Posies Blood/Candy tour along with an Epiphone Dot as backup and an Epiphone J-160 that I played on a couple of songs on stage and did all radio and television unplugged type of things with. The Sheraton has done me right and it even ended up on Brendan's last record too, on the song, "I'll Never Tell"."

He used it in the early 90's; Frosting On The Beater Era. His was a '73 model with a black pickguard.
