It offers a combination of vintage design elements and modern features, making it a versatile instrument suitable for various musical genres. With its stunning finishes and attention to detail, the Sheraton has become an icon among guitarists.
Semi-Hollow Body
The Sheraton’s semi-hollow body is crafted from layered maple, which contributes to its distinct tone and resonance. This construction allows the guitar to produce a warm, rich sound with enhanced sustain. The maple center block further enhances feedback resistance, making the Sheraton an ideal choice for players who desire versatility and control over their tone.
Neck and Fretboard
The 22-fret neck of the Sheraton is made from mahogany, a tonewood known for its excellent sustain and warm characteristics. It provides stability and durability, ensuring that the instrument can withstand the demands of rigorous playing. The neck features a bound Indian laurel fretboard, which adds a touch of elegance to the guitar’s overall appearance. The fretboard is adorned with block mother of pearl inlays, accented by abalone triangle inlays.
Headstock and Logo
The Sheraton features a bound headstock that showcases a historic Epiphone logo, symbolizing the guitar’s legacy and heritage. Additionally, the headstock is adorned with a tree of life inlay made of mother of pearl.
Electronics and Hardware
Equipped with Epiphone ProBucker mini humbuckers, the Sheraton offers a wide dynamic tonal range that can adapt to various genres and playing styles. These pickups deliver a balanced and versatile sound, making the guitar suitable for everything from jazz to rock, and beyond. The gold hardware, including the vintage-styled Frequensator Split Trapeze tailpiece, adds a classic touch to the instrument’s overall aesthetic. The gold top hat knobs and Wilkinson tuners complete the ensemble.
