The Epiphone Sheraton-II Pro Electric Guitar Ebony is a 6-string electric guitar, featuring a maple body and neck, a rosewood fretboard, and an ebony fretboard. The Epiphone Sheraton-II Pro honours Epiphone's most influential "thin-line" semi-hollowbody electric archtop, now offered with critically acclaimed ProBucker pickups with coil-splitting and a Graphtech NuBone XL nut. Hailed by blues legend John Lee Hooker as "an out-did 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. The Epiphone Sheraton-II Pro is backed by Epiphone’s Lifetime Limited Warranty.

I was a little surprised by the high quality of this fine piece of instrument. I see it as a Gibson 335 copy and it made me change opinion of the Epiphone guitars totally. I usually don't buy cheaper guitars as I feel they lack of ability to meet my demands. This is my new and very last love. I simply don't need another. :)
