Schtang Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 The first time I used the Sheraton yesterday at a gig. I usually play a USA Standard strat and a Gibson Les Paul but yesterday I decided to use my 2 backup guitars, the epi Sheraton and Fender nashville deluxe telecaster - both sounded quite nice, but I must admit I felt very strange not having my strat there (hence taking) the tele - the Sheraton sounded quite nice on the grudgey blues songs, a little weird on the country stuff(but i had to try it) switched over to the tele for the rest of the country rock and southern rock stuff and back over to the Sheraton on the blues and dixie jazz stuff we do with our 78 year old trumpet player.

TheX Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 The Sheraton is beautiful, and represents Epi well up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyelcrrt1281733995 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Because Gibson owns Epiphone and sometimes they chose to make that apparent, sometimes they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one in the photo above and the one in the ad are the same guitar. Hope this makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schtang Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 Hello! I see that many of you here use those "gibson sheratons" or what? It is epi but on the headstock is writen 'gibson'.....so why is that? I am lookin' these beauty (also sheraton II)' date=' but there is an huge 'E' on headstock, than why is that????:D ..here is link for example of 'E' epi: http://www.epiphone.com/default.asp?ProductID=8&CollectionID=1 Thanks![/quote'] Mine just came with the gibson trc and it is a 2006 model epi Sheraton - don't know why, just like someone said, occassionally Gibson like to put that "trc" on some of their epi guitars from time to time. Thanks eveyone for all the nice comments on the sheri - lets face it, in my books (only my opinion) the Sheri is the best guitar epiphone made (along side the casino) - I really like epi's hollow and semi/hollow bodies they really give Gibson a run for their money on their semi-hollow guitars. Ps - I have never played an epi solidbody so can't commend there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
