Performance
The Sheraton II is Epiphone’s version of the ES 335, a double-cutaway hollow-body electric guitar. It has the standard Gibson/Epiphone two volume, two tone, three-way switch, with two humbucker pickups. Mine was set up great right from the factory and it has a great feel. I can find nothing at all wrong with it.

Sound Quality
This is maybe the best sounding guitar I have ever heard (I have a Les Paul I also love). It has a really sweet, full, clean sound and overdrives like crazy. Very versatile, usable for nearly any kind of music. I really got it just because I wanted to add a hollow-body to my collection, but it may turn out to be my favorite.

Construction
Haven’t found anything on it that doesn’t work like it is supposed to, but I have only had it a month. Was set up good right from the factory and has a really good feel. The only thing I don’t like is the location of the strap hook, but I don’t see how they could put it anywhere else. The finish is beautiful (mine is ebony). I am told the gold hardware will wear off (and it has on my Les Paul), but it is easily replaceable.
