The Epiphone Sheraton-II PRO honors Epiphone’ most influential thin-line semi-hollowbody electric archtop now with critically acclaimed ProBucker pickups with coil-tapping and a Graph Tech NuBone XL nut.An Epiphone Icon: Hailed by blues legend John Lee Hooker as an outdid 335, the Sheraton has been renown for decades for its combination of superior tone and beautiful pearloid and abalone inlay. Originally released in 1959, the inspiration for the thin-line or ES Series has its roots in Les Paul’s first solidbody guitar, The Log, that Les built in Epiphone’s factory in Manhattan in 1940.The Log was made from Epiphone parts with a 4 x 4 piece of pinewood down the middle. The ES Series is also semi-hollow with a solid center, which makes it more resistant to feedback than a typical archtop guitar.Inside the Epiphone Sheraton-II PRO: The Outdid 335John Lee Hooker described the original Sheraton as an outdid 335 for its striking fingerboard inlay, classic shape, and elegant ivory and black binding on the top, back, neck, headstock and f-holes. The new Sheraton-II PRO has the same profile and is made from laminated maple and topped with a bound tortoise style pickguard with a signature metal E (for Epiphone) and the same classic binding.The Sheraton-II PRO has a hand-set 5-piece laminated hard maple/walnut 24.75 scale neck with a beautiful rosewood fingerboard with block and triangle pearloid and abalone inlays, 22 medium-jumbo frets, and a large vintage-style tree of life motif Clipped Ear headstock. The Epiphone Sheraton-II PRO also now comes with the new Graph Tech NuBone XL nut that is as hard as bone but will last a lifetime without chipping or cracking. Graph Tech molds and engineers each NuBone XL nut for consistent tone and string balance as well as precise string spacing.ProBucker HumbuckersThe Epiphone Sheraton II-PRO now features new criticallyBodyBody shape: Double cutawayBody type: Semi-hollow or chambered bodyBody material: LaminatedTop wood: Not applicableBody wood: Maple LaminatedBody finish: GlossOrientation: Right handedNeckNeck shape: ’60s SlimTaperNeck wood: Maple with walnutJoint: Set-inScale length: 24.75Truss rod: StandardNeck finish: GlossFretboardMaterial: RosewoodRadius: 12Fret size: Medium jumboNumber of frets: 22Inlays: Block and triangleNut width: 1.687 (42.8mm)PickupsConfiguration: HHNeck: ProBucker 2Middle: Not applicableBridge: ProBucker 3Brand: EpiphoneActive or passive: PassiveSeries or parallel: Not applicablePiezo: NoActive EQ: NoSpecial electronics: Volume controls with coil tapControlsControl layout: Volume 1, volume 2, tone 1, tone 2Pickup switch: 3-wayCoil tap or split: Coil tapK Guitars, Electric Guitars, Semi-Hollow and Hollow Body Electric Guitars Epiphone J25053.001 ETSPWRGH1 Epiphone, Semi-Hollow and Hollow Body Electric Guitars |
