This would be upgraded to chrome by 1965. Hardware is all nickel plated at this time, including pickup cover. The sides and back of guitars with the Shaded finishes (but not Natural or Cherry) had a translucent Walnut stain, with single ply cream binding picking out the edge. By the mid 60s, however, all bursts were lumped together again, as 'Shaded'. Epiphone had used the name Shaded to describe their burst finish for many years, but when Epiphone production started at the Kalamazoo plant, new names appeared for specific colour bursts, such as Royal Olive and Royal Tan. As a single pickup guitar in Epiphone's Royal Olive finish it has model designation E452T. This example has black/silver Gibson bell knobs, though others used gold. The Sorrento was fitted with one or two Epiphone mini-humbuckers, each with a volume and tone control.
