Hi all, I did a major overhaul of my 1989 Sheraton II recently, with a ton of help from forums like this one. Replaced the bridge, installed a Bigsby, new locking tuners and new Tusq nut. Sound and playing much improved. I wanted to give back by writing up my experience, with photos. Only thing I haven't tackled is the electronics. Thanks for all this forum's tips!

I too own an Epiphone Sheraton 2 from the early 90's made in Korea by Samick. The bridge posts are an unusual 71.5 mms apart. The bridge is extremely difficult to find unless you type in Kluson Nashville replacement tune-o'matic bridge. It is a PERFECT fit and a tonal upgrade from the original. Longer sustain, sweeter tone, better intonation. Comes with studs so you can replace the entire assembly with Kluson parts. I hope this helps the many Korean Sheraton 2 owners. You don't have to plug and drill new holes! Also, this guitar has Gibson 500t & 490r w/push pull pots for coil splits. But the sweetness comes from the center block made of mahogany. This is essential to that pure sweet tone a Gibson 335 is known for.
