Epiphone Original Sheraton 2025 - Antique Natural
Often considered a deluxe version of the Gibson 335, the Sheraton thinline arch-top is one of Epiphone's enduring legends. Among others, this irresistibly handsome semi-acoustic guitar has been played by the blues master himself: Mr. John Lee Hooker and, as well as blues, has voiced an array of music genres, all the way from soul to classic rock. Setting this model apart from their more standard semi-acoustics, Epiphone have finished the Sheraton in sumptuous, traditional style - complete with gilded hardware.
Besides a classic and familiar Frequensator Split Trapeze tailpiece, this Original Collection edition of the Sheraton features a stable LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and a set of six Wilkinson machine heads. The slightly thinner-than-average body has also been loaded with two Epiphone-designed ProBucker mini-humbuckers which, combined with the three-way switch, two volume pots and two tone pots, wield a stunning spectrum of lightly biting dual-coil sounds. Meanwhile, the laminated maple body and set-in mahogany neck lay down a tight and defined foundation with a fast attack and softly rounded trebles.
