Description

The Epiphone Sheraton II Pro is a semi-hollowbody electric guitar that elegantly bridges vintage allure with modern craftsmanship. Revered by blues legend John Lee Hooker as an "outdid 335," this guitar is a nod to Epiphone's rich heritage and innovation. At the heart of the Sheraton II Pro are its ProBucker pickups, delivering rich, articulate tones that can seamlessly transition from humbucker warmth to single-coil clarity thanks to the coil-tapping feature. This tonal versatility makes it a favorite among jazz, blues, and rock guitarists alike.

Crafted with a laminated maple body and a 5-piece maple/walnut neck, the Sheraton II Pro is not just about aesthetics—it's about playability and durability. The neck's 24.75-inch scale and rosewood fingerboard with block and triangle inlays offer a comfortable playing experience, while maintaining a classic look that turns heads.

Adding to its robust build is the GraphTech NuBone XL nut, ensuring consistent tone and string balance, and the Grover Rotomatic machine heads, which provide precise tuning stability. The guitar's gold hardware and elegant "tree of life" headstock motif further enhance its sophisticated appearance, making it as much a visual delight as it is an auditory one. Whether you're on stage or in the studio, the Epiphone Sheraton II Pro is a versatile companion for musicians seeking a blend of history, quality, and performance.

Review : Epiphone Sheraton II Pro — That Guitar Lover

thatguitarlover.com

The Epiphone Sheraton II Pro impresses with its vintage aesthetics and robust build, offering a surprisingly high-quality alternative to pricier Gibson models. Its versatile Probucker pickups and coil-tapping options provide a wide tonal range, making it suitable for various styles. While the factory strings and some electrical components, like the tone control and pickup switch, may require minor adjustments or upgrades, the guitar's overall performance and playability remain outstanding. With its solid construction and impressive sound, the Sheraton II Pro punches well above its weight class, making it a highly recommended choice for those seeking a semi-hollowbody guitar without breaking the bank.

In the Words of John Lee Hooker: "An Out-Did 335"

I got back into playing (or attempting to play) music in 2020, and over the course of these past five years, bought and sold two different Epiphone 335s. I regret selling both of them. So when I got my hands on the Sheraton Pro II in Midnight Sapphire, I decided that I would never again, sell any 335-shaped object.

The Sheraton is an amazing sounding guitar. It just feels correct in my hands, much more so than any Les Paul I have ever played.

Notable Features

Epiphone ProBucker-2 alnico pickups Coil-splitting 5-ply binding on the body, neck, headstock, and pickguard Gold hardware Grover 18:1 tuners

Anyone looking to add a 335-type guitar would be remiss in not looking at an Epiphone Sheraton Pro II. I cannot priase this guitar enough. I absolutely LOVE it!

Amazon and good value

This guitar is a great bang for your buck. Great sound and looks. Takes time to get used to fat neck but after a few hours of playing is no problem.

Preferred Settings + Usage:

Best for intermediate players. Neck pick up is where I spend most of the time playing sweet jazzy notes.

This Guitar...

I love this guitar. It rocks, it rolls and it gets a jazz groove going too. The switchable pickups are amazing: I can switch from a bluesy growl to a sweet 60's pop vibe at the push or pull of a button. The action is great, I do have to have it reset as factory wasn't perfect for me but it wasn't a mess either. I just like a bit lower than what it came with. The tuners are rock solid.

stevey1000

beautiful tones

I think this is the best semi acoustic you can get for the money. I tries out loads of different models, but always came back to this. It's solid, comfortable, looks amazing (once you take the scratchplate off...!) and sounds awesome. the pickups are great. I have no complaints about this guitar whatsoever. If you don't want to spend £1,500+ on a 335, this is where it's at.

nbaker1251

Amazing

I always wanted a hollow body and this guitar lived up to the dream. It's great at lead or rhythm parts, and does good at rough around the edges or colorful beautiful things.

flannelcockerspaniel

Fantastic Epiphone!

To my ear, this Epiphone plays as well and sounds hardly distinguishable from the Gibson counterpart for about half the price. It has been an absolute joy to have this instrument in the home studio.

Great sounding, affordable Gibson alternative

I have the Pro II with the stock pickups. Very versatile with coil taps, stays in tune well and plays easily out of the box.

The guitar the Sheraton wants to be but falls short. At a savings of almost $2k, it is still a great value.
