Decide for yourself!!

by Gary from Decatur, IL

Music Background: Hobbist
You can read all the reviews, but you'd be a fool to buy anything you have not had in YOUR hands.

I'm going to sing the praises if this guitar too.

I have two Gibson 335'... read more [+]s and While the pots seem to be better in the Gibson's, I can't justify the costs over the Sheraton.

Get to a store and play both. Play several of both and decide for yourself.

I'm currently looking for a Sheraton II in triburst. I may have to settle for vintage burst, but I can't justify the price of a Gibson

New pots are cheap and I've had some bad pots on a Les Paul studio I had to replace. close [-]

This Axe Sings the Blues!

by Richard from Las Vegas, NV

I was hunting for a guitar semi-hollowbody to add to my collection, and really needed a guitar that could produce the blues, among other genres. Once I pulled this out of the box, I was very impressed... read more [+] with the quality and natural finish of the guitar. I plugged it in and found that blues tone I was searching for, but to my VERY pleasant surprise, this axe can rip hard rock just as well as the blues, and the clean tones through the neck and bridge are fantastic! With the selector set to the middle, I found a very creamy, acoustic-like tone for rhythms and melodies alike. The set up out of the box was spot on, and I needed to just tweak the pickup height a bit, but Sweetwater didn't miss a beat! Some folks might complain about the feedback of the body when high gain is applied or in a noisy live situation, but for me the level of feedback in those situations is perfect for my artistic application and certainly not in the way when I don't want it, even in a cramped room or live stage with drums and other amps blaring! Bottom line, a fantastic bargain for the quality of instrument that fits many genres with ease and simply looks amazing in its natural finish. Thanks to Don B. and the entire Sweetwater crew, they beat everyone out there! close [-]

this instrument really plays

by Blue Stu Herman from Seattle, WA, USA
September 19, 2011
Music Background: I play the blues, for the last 50 years
well, replacing the pickups, which had the definite sound of Ducks, quacking, and the Machines, which were Grovers, sort of, and all the pots and switches, which were also not good -after that, have ... read more [+]a FANCY ES-series instrument for about $1200. I used Seymour Duncan pickups, Schaller gold locking Machines, and Swirchcraft switch and pots, and it definitely needs a Graphite Nut - but, seeing as a A gibson comparable model is 3 Gs, I love it. Just be ready to spend a little more, and put the stuff on it that it really needs - I play for a living, and I use this as well as my Strat. Good choice, the Sheraton close [-]

Fall In Love With A Bargain Blonde

by John from Far-Northern NY

Music Background: Pro Musician
I've owned and played a LOT of guitars over 45 years, and my Blonde [Natural] Sheraton II one of my favorites.
Not only is this axe a BARGAIN, but it plays so EASILY and SOUNDS GREAT. The neck... read more [+] fits the hand like butter, and the double cutaway allows easy access to the high frets - even for chords.
The only problem I've had with the guitar was the jack coming loose and disconnecting during a gig. Fortunately I had another guitar available, and was able to fix the Sheraton II easily when I got home.
If you buy one, be sure the jack nut is tightened.
Overall, I am very pleased with this gorgeous guitar.
Why spend $3K for a Gibson when this one does it all, so well for so little. close [-]

When I first laid eyes on this natural beauty I was absolutely floored by its stunning looks. I had to take a few moments to just sit and absorb its curves, its accents, and search out its very essenc... read more
