Semi Hollow Soul, Dressed In Vintage Sunburst

The Epiphone Sheraton has always been that sweet spot between classy jazz box and workhorse rock machine. This Vintage Sunburst beauty keeps that tradition alive with a semi hollow maple body, a solid maple centerblock, and a set of ProBucker mini humbuckers that cover everything from smoky jazz to gritty indie.

You get the air and bloom of a hollowbody, but the centerblock keeps the howl under control when you push the gain. Add in the Frequensator split trapeze tailpiece, gold hardware, and ornate inlays, and you are looking at a guitar that sounds huge and looks like a million bucks without punishing your wallet.

Layered Maple Body With Feedback Taming Centerblock

The layered maple body gives you that immediate, snappy response with plenty of top end cut, while the semi hollow construction adds warmth and depth to every chord. The maple centerblock is the secret weapon here, tightening up the low end and keeping feedback in check when you are on louder stages.

Real talk, that combo is why Sheratons feel so at home in blues clubs, rock gigs, and worship stages alike. You get singing sustain, a focused fundamental, and just enough air around the notes so your cleans shimmer and your driven tones stay articulate.

SlimTaper 60s Neck That Feels Like Home

The mahogany neck with the SlimTaper 60s C profile hits that sweet spot between vintage vibe and modern comfort. It fills your hand enough to feel solid, but it never fights you when you are stretching for chords or ripping through fast lines.

The bound Indian laurel fingerboard, 12 inch radius, and 22 medium jumbo frets make bends feel buttery and chords feel smooth up and down the neck. The block mother of pearl inlays with abalone triangles are not just eye candy, they make navigating the board on dark stages effortless.

ProBucker Mini Humbuckers: Clarity, Grit, And Range

Epiphone ProBucker mini humbuckers give this Sheraton a wide dynamic range that fits nearly any genre. Compared to full size humbuckers, these minis stay a little tighter and clearer, with glassy highs and a punchy midrange that loves both clean tones and edge of breakup grit.

The neck pickup is smooth and round without getting muddy, perfect for jazz chords, soul, and bluesy lines. The bridge pickup has bite and cut for classic rock rhythm and lead, and the middle position blends both for chimey cleans that sit beautifully in a mix. With independent volume and tone controls, you can dial in everything from warm and woody to bright and cutting.

Frequensator Tailpiece And Gold Hardware Elegance

The vintage styled Frequensator split trapeze tailpiece does more than look cool. The differing string lengths subtly balance tension and feel, giving the low strings a bit more snap and the high strings a slightly looser, singing quality that makes vibrato and bends feel effortless.

Gold hardware, multi ply binding, tortoise pickguard with the foil E logo, and a bound headstock with the tree of life inlay make this Sheraton look like it belongs on a big stage. It is the kind of guitar that turns heads before you even hit a note.

The Moore Guitars Treatment

This Epiphone Sheraton is brand new and the photos you see are of the actual guitar you will get, not a stock image. It comes with a premium gig bag, so you are ready for rehearsals, sessions, or the next gig right out of the box.

Every guitar that leaves Moore Guitars gets our full Player-Perfect setup, is inspected three times before shipping, and ships fast and fully insured. If you want tweaks like a different string gauge or action height, tell us at checkout and we will dial it in so it feels like your guitar from the very first strum.

The Lowdown

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

Here is the lowdown. The Sheraton lives in the same semi hollow world as an ES-335, but the mini humbuckers give it a bit more clarity and chime. You still get the warmth and bloom from the maple body and centerblock, but the attack feels a little quicker and more focused. If you like the idea of a 335 but want a touch more definition and a more ornate, vintage inspired look, the Sheraton hits that sweet spot.
Yes. The maple centerblock is there specifically to keep feedback under control at stage volumes. You can run this guitar through drive, fuzz, and ambient rigs without it turning into a howl machine, as long as you use reasonable stage technique. It is perfect for classic rock, indie, worship, and blues rock. For extreme metal levels of gain, you would still be better off with a solid body and full size humbuckers.
The Frequensator split trapeze tailpiece changes the string lengths behind the bridge, which subtly affects tension and response. The bass strings feel a little tighter and punchier, while the treble strings feel slightly slinkier and more vocal for bends and vibrato. Tonally, you get a touch more snap and articulation compared to a standard stop tailpiece, which pairs really well with the mini humbuckers and semi hollow body.
At around 8.9 pounds, this Sheraton has some substance but it is not a boat anchor. The semi hollow construction spreads the weight nicely, and the body balances well on a strap, so it does not feel neck heavy. If you are used to solid body guitars in the 8 to 9 pound range, this will feel very familiar, with the added comfort of the thinline body shape.
Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.
This guitar is covered by our 14-Day Return Policy. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.
If you order before 3 PM CST on a weekday, it ships the same day. We’ll get it into your hands fast with free, insured 2-3 day shipping.
