Hamfisted Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Hey all, this is my first post here. I own several Epi 335 stalys, a Casino natural, A CAsino "Inspired by John Lennon" and a 2015 Dot Deluxe. So I'm a big fan. I ran across an interesting guitar today that I don't know much about so I thought I'd ask here. It;s an Epiphone by Gibson Sheraton. I did a little Googling and found out some stuff so my question is about this one in particular. My concerns are, there is no sticker (serial #) on the back of the head stock, there is no sticker inside the F-hole, the pick guard has been removed and there is electric tape on the wiring visible through the F-hole. SO I don't know what pickups it has. My question involves its value and how the things I've described would affect that. It's in good shape, plays well but since I already have several 335's, the collectability of this one interests me as much as playing it. Oh, they want $675 for it. Any input will be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard1 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Used they go for around $300 to maybe $400 and that is with a hard shell case. Offer $350 and if they don't accept pass on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parabar Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I have to get a little pedantic here --- your Casinos are not really 335 style guitars, as they share basic concepts with the 330, The major differences are as follows: .......................330/Casino.........335/Dot/Sheraton Body Construction......Fully Hollow.......Semi-Hollow with center block Pickups................P-90's.............Humbuckers or Mini-Humbuckers Neck-Body joint........16th Fret..........19th fret The 330, Casino and 335 all have mahogany necks, while the Sheraton usually has a laminated maple neck, which gives it a somewhat stiffer feel and brighter tone.

I don't know the U.S prices being in the the U.K, but I would expect an almost 30 year old probably Korean made Epiphone by Gibson to go for more than that. They tend to go for £400-700 here depending on condition. There's a big long thread somewhere about the epi by gibson Sheraton, you may get more info looking on there.

Your correct. I was lumping them all into the double cutaway with f holes style of guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
