Description
The Epiphone Sheraton in Vintage Sunburst carries forward one of Epiphone's most recognizable original semi-hollow designs with a mix of classic styling and practical modern appointments. First introduced in 1958, the Sheraton has long appealed to players who want a more ornate take on the thinline semi-hollow formula, and this version stays true to that identity with layered maple construction, elaborate binding, gold hardware, and mini humbuckers. It's a strong fit for rock, blues, soul, jazz, indie, and players who want a semi-hollow that looks refined without being overly delicate.
The 5-ply laminated maple body is built around a solid maple centerblock, helping increase sustain and keep feedback under control at louder stage volumes. A glued-in mahogany neck with a 60s SlimTaper C profile is paired with a rosewood fingerboard, 12" radius, and 22 standard frets for a comfortable balance between chord work and lead playing. Mother-of-pearl block inlays with abalone triangles, multi-ply binding, and the traditional Sheraton headstock treatment give this model a distinctly upscale appearance.
A pair of Epiphone PRO Mini Humbuckers delivers clear, focused humbucker tones with a little more definition and snap than a full-size pickup, while dedicated volume and tone controls for each pickup make it easy to fine-tune blended sounds. The LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge, Frequensator tailpiece, Wilkinson Rotomatic-style tuners, and GraphTech nut provide a dependable hardware setup for regular gigging and recording. We think the Sheraton is a great choice for players who want the warmth and versatility of a semi-hollow with more visual presence and a tighter, more articulate pickup response.
