I often use my Sheraton at high gain settings when I'm trying to nail the early Rush sound. I'll never be able to afford a Gibson ES-355 like the one Alex Lifeson played in those days, but this guitar does the trick very nicely!
This has been my main gigging guitar for 3 years. It has not let me down once, that's not an exaggeration; sounds great, holds tuning wonderfully, and once you're acquainted with it you can get a huge variety of tones and timbres. Worth far more than the price tag in my opinion.
First of all, I want to thank you for showing the clean tones that this guitar can deliver. Sort of a breath of fresh air considering most of the TH-cam videos I see. Having owned a 335 back in the 70's, I had a pretty good idea of what the Gibson could do. But within 10 minutes after sitting down with the Sharton, I knew it was going home with me. Gibson has no lock on quality as far as these semi-hollowsare concerned. The fit, finish, and playability of the guitar were just icing on the cake.
I own a 2019 version of this guitar. For me, it's perfect. I don't know what Gibson has done for the 335 in the past year or two, but in my mind, this blows it away. Great tuners, great neck, and a shape that's easy to hold and use.
I own a 2008 Sheraton II and it’s my absolute favorite guitar. The neck profile on it is perfect. Sits somewhere right between a chunky 50’s profile and a slim 60’s taper. Though I generally prefer thicker neck, this neck gives a true best of both worlds feel.
I just today received my Shritan from guitar center. I mostly got it so I could open tune my dot to play slide and thought the Sheritan would be good to play fretted. As soon as I started playing I could tell the difference. It's like my fingers and the guitar were made for each other. And when I plugged it in... Never going back! No buyer's remorse for humble guitar player.
Got mine last August 2020. Very much like you, I was quite blown away by the details, 18 to 1 tuners, alnico-2 pickups, stability of staying in tune, 5 ply binding all over including the pick guard. Mine with the black on gold bling stuff, it impresses anyone when you open the case. Luv it, luv it. Your review is spot on all your comments.
I was looking at a 335, then saw the Sheraton. Pulled up your demo, went through the clean country and blues and started having second thoughts. Then you kicked in the gain. Holy crap. Exactly what I’m looking for. And your genuine enthusiasm for the instrument shows. I’m ordering.
@@aaronbarnes2499 You won’t be disappointed, I absolutely love mine. With a Wampler Ratsbane (Rat clone with added features) I can get anything from Foo Fighters to Alice In Chains tones. It’s a fun guitar.
Nice informative video!.....I just ordered the Black & Gold version of the Sheraton ll pro today.....These Epiphone guitars are a work of art...I have the Epiphone acoustic J-200 sunburst...also a work of art....Happy playing everyone!
I bought one of these second-hand last autumn after having searched ES style guitar for a while. So happy with it. It's basically replaced all other guitars for me (even sold one already). Such a versatile workhorse of an instrument, superb value for the price
To me, the Epiphone Sheraton is equivalent or (slightly) better than the Gibson ES-335. I could easily take a couple of paragraphs to describe how beautiful this guitar is. Instead, all I will say is that this is something that Epiphone has to be proud of.
There's a side-by-side with a Gibson somewhere, and it compares very fabvorably, IMO. Definitely some tonal distinctions in some ranges in some settings, but I can't say I like one more than the other. I do prefer less ornate appointments, but Epiphone carries it well. Only change I would make is adding a Varitone (type) switch, which I have on all of my electrics -- guitars, basses, and baritone.
I have an 82 Sheraton from Asia. I wouldn't trade it for a 335. Once I replaced some of the hardware (bridge and tuners) it has been a great sounding tool for over 30 years.
Your demo on the Sheraton is outstanding. I’d been in the market for the inspired by Epiphone es335. After this demo and all the ginger on the Sheraton, nyou definitely helped me with my decision to go with the Sheraton. Thank you
Just got one of these a couple of weeks ago and after a little setting up absolutely love it. I've watched a bunch of videos on the Sheraton II Pro but yours is the first to really spend some time talking about the pickups, which I appreciate. It has much more bite and mojo than my Epi 335, and the variety of tones is really impressive. I find myself using the split coils all the time. Also, the neck is really comfortable (yeah, it's definitely a D-shape) and the fretboard is a 12" radius. It is kind of a heavy guitar, but no complaints.
Had a Sheraton many years ago but gave it to my nephew when he was getting started playing as a birthday gift. Wish i would have kept it but like these even more . The sounds are amazing and hopefully the quality is better. Just got a new Gibson Les Paul so i must wait a while . Must go try one out at the local music store and see/feel it for myself. Thanks for helping me know what to look for. Must try and support local business, especially since covid and two ,back to back, hurricanes. Thanks Larry , great one !
That is a great looking guitar, sounds great too. I'm thinking of getting one. Always loved the double cutaway look . Along with the semi hollow. Thanks for the review.
Hi.all the guitars collector 's , this are the best sounds , guitars .that i am looking , liston for....sheraton .hollow bodys .done well. Epiphone .ok
I've had 2 of them, a '92 Korean Sammik model in Natural finish, which I let go. It was a nice guitar; but the pickups were a bit muddy to my ears, and the gold colored hardware became tarnished. And the neck heel joint wasn't sanded enough. But it was fun to play. Recently, I bought a new Pro 2 Ebony model, and it's a big upgrade. The pickups are much more articulate, it plays great, hasa beefier neck, & ii's my most gorgeous looking guitar ie. it's stunning.
I really appreciate that they went with "aged" white plies on the pickguard, so as to match the binding. Gibson/Epiphone typically uses bright white, which is "vintage correct", but looks awful. These have been very nice guitars since the upgrade to the ProBucker pickups a few years ago. I have ALMOST pulled the trigger on one several times, but, I find the neck uncomfortably thin and I have an aversion to gold hardware. Nice, thorough review.
Tried both this and the new es335 in store. The Sheraton definitely wins out in tone and feel. Ps i keep hearing the captain's lick in the beginning hahaha
I was about to buy new 2020 Epi Riviera, but after seeing this review I have changed my plans :) It will be Sheraton II Pro, just not sure about the color: VS vs WR...hmm...Beauty vs Beauty. :)
@@jurajcagan5874 That is great , congrats , you will not be disappointed , the Neck plays like butter , the tone is nothing like I thought , it was much better all up the neck and on every fret . this one is staying in my Studio.
@@brianhogenson8285 You are right , beautiful Guitar , I am almost scared to play it ,cause I might scratch it.. what a smooth neck . I bought it as an investment ,but changed my mind , it's a keeper .
For the Buck this is a Great Guitar, you may have to look into getting the Electrics sorted on it at some point as I had some issues with that stuff but it’s expected, maybe some soldering and a new switch at some point but that’s the only thing I had to sort out, the intonation and feel of it is great and it has that great resonance that you get from a semi hollow body , Really Really impressed with mine it’s also very versatile, ⭐️🌞👍🏻❤️
One of my favourite guitars. It feels great. I changed the pickups to the Seymour Duncan vintage blues set, and took covers off, and it sounds a lot better to me!
It’s a great guitar. What amp settings? Treble up high? Mine in full hum bucker mode sounds less bright than yours but probably just my amp settings. Very versatile guitar. Covers a lot of music. The coil splitting feature is something I use a lot. Just a bit heavy hanging from your neck after an hour or so. Was thinking about trying an Epi Les Paul modern but afraid I’d loose some of the great Sheraton tone.
I would imagine a Les would be even heavier than one of these being a full body guitar. There's one of these listed as pre-owned in a music shop near to where I'll be working tomorrow, tempted to go try it out 😃.
When I listened to your comments regarding the early Epi Sheratons, I almost broke down. I actually owned one...bought in 1968 when I was in the military. Cost a whopping (then) $800 with the hardshell case. I had to sell it due to financial trouble but it was a fantastic instrument. Last one I saw was on the Gruhn Guitars page with a $7000 price tag! This new II model is going to be my next one.
I have to say, if a guitar is balanced, I rarely pay much attention to the weight. I switch between a 69 Les Paul that's 10 pounds and other guitars ranging from 6 upwards and if they're balanced on my strap I think I've learned to ignore the weight. The Sheraton had a bit of heft to it, but no more than a 335.
@@MooreMusicGuitars Hi, I am also strugling with the weight, mainly because it is head heavy! so I ended some years ago to buy a ES 339 for playing in my band, it has a better weight balance, but the sound is not the same. I am considering a SIRE, Larry Carlton H7
I bought one this week after debating myself for a couple weeks. Great sound, very versatile. Glad I bought it. How many use the coil split feature frequently!?
Hey Epiphone, why no newly introduced '62 headstock, now used on most Epiphone guitars, on the Sheraton? That HUGE "clipped" cornered headstock is, and always has been, so disproportionate, on the "thinline" Sheraton guitars! The newer "more Gibson like" headstock, which is very much like Epiphone's original '62 versions, would be a most welcomed change, IMHO, for the Sheraton II Pro, as well! Just curious, WHY they didn't use it on the Sheraton. There was a '62 Reissue Sheraton, some years ago, that looked (finally) like it should, with the smaller headstock! But, it was a "Special Run" version only.
Why, oh why in the wide world of sports would you put an inlay on the first fret where you don't need it but leave them out on 17th, 19th and 21st frets where they would be of use?
Very nice, but I will stick to my Epiphone 335 Dot made in Indonesia in the Samick Factory thanks. I don't say it is better, but it's all I need as my semi-hollow electric guitar. Money-wise too, for frugality in upper age now.
Greetings! One question, since I mainly play with headphones at home, is the sound coming out of the speaker particularly loud? Thanks and congratulations for the videos!
I wonder if this is just a repurposed body by Epiphone? The headstock is still in the original shape and they aren't using the new open book headstock. Any idea why they didn't update that for 2021?
I just ordered one of these and I am having trouble finding a hard shell case. I have read that the Epiphone E519 that Epiphone suggests for it won't fit and I will need to buy an SKB 1SKB-35. Would you tell me what you are using or what would fit. Thanks
We sold an E 519 on Saturday for a Dot, and no issues with fit. What have you read about a misfit with the Sheraton? The only dimension differences from the Dot and 335 are in the neck width and profile, and I can't imagine that would affect the case fit.
@@MooreMusicGuitars I was wondering what kind of Vibramate would fit for the Sheraton. Since the body dimensions are that of a 335 will a vibramate v7 work for the Sheraton? Will a bigsby for a 335 fit on it as well? I’d love to hear your response. Thanks!
It's hard to tell from the clutter of gear in the video, but I'm playing a Mesa Fillmore 50 head through a Mesa 2 X12 that's to the left of the Friedman cab and behind the Hot Rod Deluxe. LOL.
I’ve had this pro version, and the previous Sheraton Ii version that was made in Unsung Korea. I had them both and AB’d them both. But as we know sounds from a guitar are really subjective, and some people can like one, and some people like the other. Personally, the one that was made in Korea had the most beautiful tone in the world I have ever heard. And the new one the pro version to me seems to have taken a nose, dive and fallen off the cliff for being just having a bad sound. The pro version I had was made in China. To me it was just horrible.

swap those pickups for gibson classic 57's and its amazing.

Hang on isn’t this a full hollow guitar? How do they anchor the stop piece without a centre block?

I’ve had this pro version, and the previous Sheraton Ii version that was made in Unsung Korea. I had them both and AB’d them both. But as we know sounds from a guitar are really subjective, and some people can like one, and some people like the other. Personally, the one that was made in Korea had the most beautiful tone in the world I have ever heard. And the new one the pro version to me seems to have taken a nose, dive and fallen off the cliff for being just having a bad sound. The pro version I had was made in China. To me it was just horrible.
