Description

The new Epiphone Sheraton-II PRO honors Epiphone’s most influential « thin-line » semi-hollowbody electric archtop, now offered in a beautiful Wine Red finish plus critically acclaimed ProBucker pickups with coil-tapping and a Graphtech NuBone XL nut.
An Epiphone Icon hailed by blues legend John Lee Hooker as « an out-did 335, » the Sheraton has been renowned 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 Epiphones factory in Manhattan in 1940.
