Amazing instrument. I am extremely picky when it comes to major purchases so I did a full month of comparing specs, reading reviews, watching videos of demos, talking to es-335 owners, Sheraton owners... read more [+], Epi-dot owners, Lucille owners, playing the instruments myself, and so on and so on. This Sheraton came out head and shoulders above the rest in terms of beauty, value, comparative sound quality, and everything else. I was originally going to get an Epi-dot but I couldn’t get the finish I wanted no matter how I tried. After comparing the specs to a Sheraton II and seeing how much more beautiful it was and hearing how it was better constructed for not much more money, I knew this was for me. Though it was second hand on ebay it was professionally setup and brand new in terms of use. I had played them in stores and this was exactly the same in quality when it arrived. Don’t know how Sweetwater does in those terms but they seem to treat folks right. Unless you are super rich, don’t even bother with a Gibson 335. You can get almost the same sound for thousands less and the Sheraton is a real head turner as well. Everyone instantly noticed a difference in my sound and playing as soon as I hit the first few licks. Couldn’t be more pleased. close [-]

You do have to be careful not to get a Chinese made Sheraton II as the quality is just not there. Make sure it's made in Korea.July 24, 2011 Music Background: Pro Musician In my opinion this guitar is a great starting point for something far more beautiful. The pickups, electronics, and tuning machines were standard Epiphone quality on this guitar to start, but with a little work and a little love I've turned my guitar into a truly beautiful instrument. My guitar is now fitted with new pickups (Gibson 57 Classic and 57 Classic plus at the bridge), a nickel nashville bridge and all nickel hardware, 500k Gibson volume pots, a new input jack, a custom cut bone nut and Gibson Deluxe pearloid machine heads. I found that it also really benefited from a good fret polish right off the bat too. This guitar now has so much sustain that it's hard to think of it as a semi-hollow. Even fully stock it was great. But, with a little love and some decent money this guitar has been transformed into something that sounds absolutely amazing and looks 10 times more beautiful than a 335. Just look at the inlay job on the headstock for goodness sake! Gorgeous! This guitar has a lot of character and even though I've been traditionally a Gibson only man I'm gladly flying the Epiphone flag on this one. Fingers crossed that the E on the pick guard will stay glued on though! close [-] what a nice guitar great buy
