Epiphone Sheraton II Review

My new Epiphone Sheraton II, played on the highly under-rated Fender G-DEC 30.

Sorry for the minor flubs and whatnot. This is my first youtube video so the sound quality and volume is a bit inconsistent.

Also, when I say "middle pickup", I really meant middle pickup switch position. Sorry about that!

Many of the Jazz licks are from starglasses76 and LickByNeck. I highly recommend checking them out!

hey if its between the sheraton ii and the fender stratocaster hss, which will be better for the led zeppelin kinda music???

@WeLovePizza2012

The Les Paul is weapon of choice for Zep kinda music, but either instrument should do fine. The sheraton II would get you a thicker tone, but you really should try both out for yourself and see!

Thanks sir. This is just what I needed. I am deciding on getting this guitar, and this was very informative. It looks like I am gonna get this guitar.

very nice playing and thanks for the review. I'm thinking about picking up one of these Sheratons.

@WeLovePizza2012 its probably too late but a les paul will always be better than a strat. strats, even expensive ones feel too flimsy, and personally i hate the sound of those single coils, exept for the neck, that one sounds nice. for led zeppelin hope u got the sheration. the consistance you get from humbuckers u cant get from single coils

@rvkfc71 It is a very versatile guitar, and I would say that it covers a broad spectrum of tastes in the blues/rock genres. For jazz it is especially nice, although some may prefer a little bigger body. I find it does the Eric Johnson/Clean Satriani stuff really nice as well.

@coolwhales Hey man I´m deciding on buying this guitar. I play a lot of jazz, blues, rock and a little bit of bossanova. What genre do you recommend is good with this guitar (other than jazz and blues, which you mentioned in the video)?

nice blue monk in the begining, i love thelonious monk

[BesosMuchos]

how heavy is this guitar?

[vinlandr]

These are really nice guitars. The only thing that really set them apart from the Gibson ES 335 is the cheaper electronic. Nothing that can't be fixed.

Just get a nice BCS vintage 335 harness for 67$ and a set of Gibson classic 57/57+ and you are as close as possible to the real deal.

I hate the fact that to get triple binding or even interesting inlays on a neck you need to spend so much with Gibson...

@juankenon New Sheratons are Korean made, In The Samick Factory !
