Epiphone Sheraton Natural w/bag

The Epiphone Sheraton Natural brings one of Epiphone's most distinguished original electric guitar designs into the modern era with refined appointments and versatile semi-hollowbody tone. First introduced in 1958, the Sheraton has become a favorite among blues, jazz, rock, and alternative players for its distinctive appearance and expressive sound. This updated model features a five-ply layered maple body with a solid maple center block, a mahogany neck, and a rosewood fingerboard with elaborate mother-of-pearl and abalone inlays. A pair of Epiphone ProBucker Mini Humbuckers delivers articulate, dynamic tones, while the gloss Natural finish, gold hardware, and traditional Frequensator tailpiece preserve the Sheraton's unmistakable vintage character.

The Sheraton's semi-hollowbody construction combines the resonance and acoustic character of a hollowbody guitar with the sustain and feedback resistance of a center-block design. Its five-ply layered maple body provides a bright, articulate tonal foundation, while the solid maple center block helps control unwanted feedback at higher volumes. This combination makes the Sheraton equally comfortable delivering warm jazz chords, articulate blues leads, and driven rock rhythms. Seven-ply binding along the top and three-ply binding around the back highlight the guitar's elegant double-cutaway silhouette, while the gloss Natural finish showcases the maple body's appearance.

The mahogany neck features a comfortable 60s SlimTaper C profile, providing a familiar playing feel for both rhythm and lead guitarists. Its set-neck construction contributes to the instrument's sustain and resonance, while the 24.75" scale length offers the traditional Gibson-style string tension and response. The rosewood fingerboard features a 12" radius, 22 medium jumbo frets, and multi-ply binding, providing a smooth playing surface with comfortable access across the neck. Elaborate mother-of-pearl block inlays accented by abalone triangles give the fingerboard its distinctive Sheraton appearance. The Kalamazoo-style headstock completes the design with mother-of-pearl Epiphone lettering and the iconic tree-of-life inlay.

A pair of Epiphone ProBucker Mini Humbuckers provides the Sheraton with a focused, articulate amplified voice. Mini humbuckers offer a distinctive balance of humbucking warmth and single-note clarity, with tight bass response, pronounced midrange definition, and clear high frequencies. The neck pickup produces smooth, rounded tones suited to jazz, blues, and expressive melodic playing, while the bridge pickup delivers additional bite and definition for rhythm work and overdriven leads. Each pickup features independent volume and tone controls with CTS potentiometers and 0.02 µF capacitors, allowing precise tonal adjustments. A three-way toggle selector provides access to either pickup individually or both together, offering a broad range of sounds from a straightforward control layout.

The Sheraton Natural features gold hardware throughout, including Wilkinson tuning machines, a LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge, and the traditional Frequensator tailpiece. The distinctive tailpiece uses separate string anchor points, contributing to the model's classic appearance and characteristic string response. A Graph Tech nut supports reliable tuning performance, while gold Top Hat control knobs with metal inserts complement the instrument's premium appointments. The vintage-inspired 1962-style five-ply bound tortoise-colored pickguard features the traditional foil Epiphone "E" emblem, adding another recognizable detail to the design. With its elaborate binding, decorative inlays, versatile Mini Humbucker electronics, and traditional semi-hollowbody construction, the Epiphone Sheraton Natural offers a distinctive combination of vintage styling and modern performance. An Epiphone premium gig bag is included for protection and transportation.
