I have an ebony Sheraton II Pro with ProBucker Alnico II pickups. I own or have owned many Fender. Gibson and Epiphone guitars for decades (Strat, Tele, LP, SG etc.) but of all of them, this is the most enjoyable of them to play for all of the reasons stated in the title above. I am puzzled by the comments here that indicate that this guitar sounds "awful" or "muddy". They may have an earlier version, gotten one that had been modified or possibly just have a vendetta against Gibson/Epiphone, whether real or imagined. It is also possible that the Alnico II pickups are just not bright enough for the tastes of some, but that was a major selling point for me. Seymour Duncan has stated that he personally prefers Alnico II pickups over all, and there is a guy that knows more about pickups than anyone I know of.
