Epiphone Sheraton II Archtop Electric Guitar, Vintage Sunburst Review

I have been playing for 40 years (yikes!). I started playing in the 60's when I was about 13 years old and have played both full time and part time professionally since I was in my early 20's. I have a Les Paul, Gretsch solid body Syncro, 1982 Ibanez AM50, two Fender Strats, a Tele and several acoustics. All these guitars have a sound and style of their own but only one guitar does a little bit of everything. I have had my Sheraton since the late 90's when I bought it used (from the seriel # I find it was made in late 1988). If I am doing a job where I need to have one guitar to cover a large variety of styles (everything from classic rock to light jazz) this is the guitar I will take with me. The neck pick up has a nice smooth mellow and deep sound while the bridge pick up can scream with clear highs. When the two are mixed together (middle position on the 3 way) you can dial in a perfect blend for any music. Put it through a good distortion pedal (A vintage Ibanez TS9 or TS10 is my choice) and you can get a screaming rock or blues sound easily with a ton of sustain and no feedback.
The neck on this guiatar is very Les Paul like in width and depth and you can acheive a very low action (if that's what you are looking for). It's not light but that solid center block helps give you that sustain and tone. It weighs about the same as my Les Paul. My only complaint would be the gold plated pick ups, bridge and stop tail piece. From years of road use and sweat they are now pited and tarnished and no amount of cleaner seems to help. I just ordered a new bridge and stop tail piece and the pickup covers I can live with. I have owned both a Gibson ES-335 and a vintage 1963 ES-330 (trading it for another guitar is a major regret that I still carry). Tone wise this Epiphone Sheraton stands easily with either of those guitars and plays beautifully.
If I had to sell all my guitars except one, this is the one I would keep.
