Great surprise!

I have had the Sheraton II for a couple of years. It was in need of some basic setup and "re-humidification" after it's stay at Guitar Center. Sometimes your hear complaints about the pickups, but when they are correctly adjusted they are really quite good. The multipiece neck is quite stable and pleasantly chunky in size.Detail quality is excellent, which is why so many get this guitar when they are searching for a Gibson 335. Why spend the extra $2000? I could not find a 335 without blems and quality finish issues anyway.This guitar is not my primary guitar, but is the semi-hollow I have wanted. It is good. I have the natural finish, but the sunburst is very attractive.The tuning machines are adequate, not superb.Fretboard is excellent, inlays superb, wood is excellent.I rate this much higher than the Epi Dots I tested.

By Dylan S Meadows
Ordered from Amazon, came very quickly.Ok, so out of the box, it needs work. As long as you understand that, then there will be no issues with what is written below.The Chinese-made Epiphone guitars are built well in the sense of the body and neck, and when I say built well I mean built very well. I observe no cosmetic flaws and the body and neck are sound. The main problem with Epiphone guitars are the cheap, shoddy components and electronics that are often installed. The pickups are bland, the harness was a veritable Rat's Nest... Tuners sucked. Honestly, people, it keeps these guitars affordable, but between you and me, its a real shame.So I took my Natural finish (beautiful, by the way) Sheraton II and gutted it. Completely. I installed all new equipment:Grover Locking Tuners (dropped right in)USA electronics (MojoTone 335 harness)Gibson USA 57 Classic/57 Classic + pickup setTo convert to USA made electronics, one must step drill the holes on the top of the guitar from 10mm to 3/8". Not a huge difference, but big enough that you can't force the components in. Its scary, yes, but easily done with proper tools and proper skills. I also switched everything to nickel/chrome finish, as I've heard bad things about the gold rubbing off.Now, having made the adjustments and modifications, this guitar sounds the way that it deserves to sound. It screams and purrs, all at the same time. I plan to put in a Bigsby B6/B60/B11 tremolo (don't know which yet) for added sustain and functionality.This guitar is an investment. Its a shame for people to leave it stock. With a few extra dollars (over time), you can transform this beautiful, elegant guitar into a cherished instrument.

By Josephh49
Bought my Sheraton II about 10 months ago. I went looking for a new guitar, was definitely not interested in a hollow body. The salesman at my local Sam Ash music store steered me away from a more expensive model, and talked me into trying this. Sat and played it for awhile. It wasn't what I was looking for, but it was what I realized I wanted. Finish is great, setup was great. Plays very smooth, although the strings were a little light gauge for my taste, even better play when I changed them. The best compliment that I can give this instrument is that if I had it to do all over again, I would buy it again. Highly recommended.
