I've had my Sheraton II for a little over a year and it's been everything I expected and so much more. The vintage sunburst finish is gorgeous and the gold hardware accents it very well. The action is adjustable so you can set it to your liking, I set mine very low and there is no rattling. The only cons to this guitar are the cheap pickup switch and the "e" logo on the pickguard came off, but I think the guitar looks even more beautiful without the pickguard, and you don't really need the pickguard with the archtop body shape. All in all this is an excellent choice if you're looking for an affordable archtop. The Sheraton has become my favorite guitar in my collection.
This is one of the greatest looking guitars ever. I bought mine in natural and I can't stop looking at it. It has a wicked fast neck for solos. It plays all kinds of rock without feedback. As good as the real thing. I found nothing wrong with it. It is PERFECT!!!
I've played the epi for the past 4 months and I think it plays just as well and often better than many of the US made gibsons, having owned a few Les Pauls (which are highly overrated and overpriced). I find this Korean made epi one of the most comfortable guitars I've had. It's solid and if the tuning machines and electronics are eventually upgraded I'll put it against any American made guitar. The serious player (who understands guitars)will agree.
The workmanship and detail to attention is the best that I have seen come out of the Korean factory where ALL of these guitars (regardless of brand) are built. Solid as a rock and sustain that goes on forever. Nice feel and comforatble to play. With a nice warm amp... it will even make YOU sound good!!!
Purchased my new Sheraton I in 1995. Have had no major problems with the pickup switch. The volume controls are scratchy at times but a spray of contact cleaner cleared that up. The gold plating is wearing off the pickups but this also happened to my Les Paul. Very easy to play with great action and neck feel. It plays and feels just as good as a Gibson 335 for 1/4 the price and looks better. The finish is holding up well after 10 years.
