@Eracer_Team-DougH & @NeilES335 will probably laugh at me because of my timing, but I have considered adding a spare to my ES-335 type D’Angelico from time to time. Doug’s purchase brought back memories of my first Sheraton which, I guess, would be considered Sheraton-I (not Sheraton-II as I mentioned in Doug’s thread) by today’s standards. Although it was a decent guitar, the stock pickups would not give me the sound I really wanted. The pots were not top of the line, either. I traded it in when I got the D’Angelico. 

The Sheraton has been upgraded since then, and the coil-tapping equipped vintage humbucking pickups along with 1” 500K Ohm pots make it a real deal at a reasonable price. I must admit that I love the ProBuckers. The guy at Long & McQuade plugged it into a Vox amp for me and there wasn’t enough time before closing to test another one. Another guy was pounding away on a piano and the louder I got the louder he got. 

The setup was great right out of the box. The neck pickup volume knob kept coming off during coil-splitting, but they fixed it on the spot. Anyway, got home, plugged it into my amp and sonic delight came out. I still have more testing to do, but my first impression is that the Sheraton-II Pro sounds as good as my D’Angelico. I got my spare.

By the way, until the end of March 2018 you can ENTER TO WIN this baby.

I don't have the "pro" so I don't get the the coil split.

Couldn't tell you what pots are in mine ..

Problably won't up grade them . I paid $300 for the guitar and $75 for the fret work

Nice burgundy

@Eracer_Team-DougH I like Wildwood’s earlier vid. It’s a bit longer and he talks more about the Sheraton II. This one’s funny, but the guy ain’t lying. He’s got chops, too.

Good to have an Heir and a Spare for your #1 guitar. 

That's why I 2 Les Paul's and no other duplicates.

Congrats! I recently picked up a similar guitar used, the Epiphone ES-355 Pro. It's similar to the sheraton in that it's a 335-type, but it has a mahogany neck instead of maple, and the pickups are a bit different. Of course, the Sheraton has more bling :)

It's great fun to play, hope you are enjoying yours as well.
