Sheraton question

[friendl]

Hello,

 

What is the difference between a Sheraton II and a Epiphone 50th Anniversary '1962' E212T Sheraton?

 

And which one would be the closest to what John Lee Hooker played?

 

Regards

Lee

The 62 has mini humbuckers and a frequensator tailpiece, the Sherrie II has a stop tailpiece and full size hums. There's a JLH signature, but seems similar to the 62. Doesn't seem like JLH was too particular to one sig model, he plays diff 335 styles, so I'd say if you're going for the sound, any will do, if you're going for the look, get the '62. He's playing a sorrento in the boom boom live video on YouTube, which looks exactly like the '62 reissue

Any real difference between it and a Casino? In terms of playing Blues?

A casino is hollowbody so there's the tonal diff there, and p90 pickups will sound much different than the humbuckers in some settings. As for blues, JLH proved it can be done with a semi hollow 335, and dare I say Gary Clarke Jr has proven it can be done with a casino
