I picked this up about two months ago, and got a Gibson Les Paul Tribute a couple of weeks ago as a solidbody compliment. I’ve been IMMENSELY happy with the Wolfe - it’s a tank of a guitar, and it demands to be played. Love it, and the setup new at the shop was damned near perfect. I grew up with a 335 type, and this has been like going home in style.

@dredparsons2374 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Colin... Another great vid...!! I have a 2020 Epi Sheraton II Pro...amazing guitar..!! A couple of interesting factoids... First...and something that drives me insane about the Sheraton II. Like all other Sheraton's, with the exception of the Emily Wolfe...there are no inlays past the 15th fret. It's like playing a violin down there...you can get a little lost without that reference point in the back of your mind as you play. So...I had to put black dots on the binding where the inlays would fall. Doesn't sound like a biggie...but I would by an Emily Wolfe just to have the inlays..!! Secondly...you mentioned the finish. From someone who has a Epi 59' Les Paul with that same type of finish...it does begin to gloss in areas that you have repeated contact with. Namely...around the edges where your arm is...and for me, between the bridge and tail[piece. To me...it adds a uniqueness that is yours because it glosses up depending on your individual style of playing....how cool is that..!!? Lastly...you mentioned being the same style as Gibson's ES-335. Similar...but with an important difference. The Epi's which include the ES-335's as well as the Sheraton's, are slightly wider than the Gibson's in the body, and by wider I mean wider across. Make sure that when you go to buy a hardshell case for one...it is for the Epiphone's specifically...they will not fit into your standard ES-335 case. Keep'em coming...!! Be Well... Dred

@nevillegreg1 3 жыл бұрын

I recently bought a normal Sheraton (Pro II), and it's just great, the neck on the Sheraton is nothing like anything else - almost fatigueless and comfortable to play, and the quality of finish is right there. And given that Gibson doesn't have a Sheraton, I don't feel I'm playing just a cheap version of it's ES335. I'm playing a Sheraton. The Pro II split coils are very usable (not as good as PRS coil split, but still quite good). Last time I played the Gibson ES335 ( a long time ago), I couldn't relate to it, the tone was a bit lackluster/bassy for my taste, not so with the Sheraton.

@Bliggick 2 жыл бұрын

I'm undecided about this guitar. I approve how they finally had the sense to add inlays to the Sheraton at the 17th, 19th and 21st frets but I can't say I like how they did away with one tone knob. I can't see any advantage to that. I'm okay with the diamond f holes and no pickguard.

@theguitaristas 2 жыл бұрын

I do quite like the single tone knob… got that setup on the Flying V I reviewed this week and it sort of makes sense and is easier to dial in for the way I play which is normally with tone wide open and only rolled off for ‘woman’ tone from time to time. I find it easier to keep track where I am! 😎👍

@Bliggick 2 жыл бұрын

@@theguitaristas My reason for not approving of the single tone knob is that I perform a song comping on the neck pickup with the tone rolled off then switch to the bridge pickup for fills and the solo with the tone up full. A master tone makes performance of this song quite difficult.

I just picked up a 1998 Epiphone Dot 335, with hard case for $300. It looks great, plays just fine and sounds good I can't seem to "bond" with it.... maybe it's the large body,, (the size of my ex wife's ass) maybe it's the neck, but I keep going back to my Les Pauls. That guitar however, looks GREAT. Greetings from the U.S.!

I loved your recent review of the Inspired by Sheraton Pro 2 but tbh.. the matt black and the diamond F-holes and the nicer headstock shape... I think this is the one to have :D... i can take or leave the wolf design on the back but the rest is 100% nice... Only thing I am missing is the 4 ply walnutty neck thing on the standard Sherry's .... the wolf is all mahogany... not as pretty imo.

@Exilbremer12 Жыл бұрын

I love the aesthetic and am in the market for a Semi-Hollow. This one seems to me like it is a fair deal closer to a Les Paul, which I own, soundwise than other models already are. Would I be correct? In that case I'd have to pass to really get something different. Cheers!

Very much like the aesthetics of Emily Wolfe's sig, but you did a great job on modding (and charting the journey of) your 335! And Mick Taylor's Casino does sound fantastic too!
