Hi guys! I've been wanting to do an updated review of The Epiphone Sheraton II Pro that I'm calling "The Epiphone Sheraton II Pro One Year Later | Still Worth It? One Year Later. You know guys, in the time that has passed since when Epiphone so graciously invited me to check this beauty out I've gotten the chance to REALLY dig into it. A WOW! There are so many hidden tones and vibes that allow me to express myself in the most creative way. Saying, "I love the sound," that I get from this guitar would be a huge understatement. The way it feels and plays speaks the language of my musical soul and "one year later" is it still worth it? YES! I truly would change a thing about this guitar. I was so unfamiliar with Epiphone and semi-hollow body-style guitars, and now I can say that I'm intimately familiar with this instrument, but don't get it twisted! I've got A LOT to learn about this guitar. The great thing I know is that as I continue to grow and push my own boundaries as an artist I'll have a guitar that supports that growth. Also, thanks to all of you my viewers for supporting me on this journey.

I also have a Sheraton, as well as a Fender Strat and a 1968 Gibson SG, and yet this is my favorite all-around guitar. I play a wide variety of styles and I do so so I can get more gigs, but this is the guitar I use for most of them whether blues, jazz, rock, country, etc., You sound great on it. As beautiful as the one playing it.

Helen, you're very enjoyable to watch and listen to. I've owned the exact same guitar since 2018 and greatly enjoy the full bodied tone you can get from it (not to mention the killer wine red colour). Recently I put flat wound strings on and they have made a wonderful sounding guitar even better. Next time you change strings, give them a try. I think they'd be a good complement to your sound. Thanks for the post.

I have this guitar in the same colour. I took off the pick guard. Just a personal aesthetic choice. I don’t play it nearly as well, but I love it! There’s a little scratch on top of the headstock from when I bashed it on the low ceiling of the practice studio while taking the guitar off. Definitely have to be careful with that big beautiful headstock, haha!

Those are wonderful instruments...I've played many but never owned one...my bandmate played one back in the day...now I have two epiphones that I love...a Casino in worn ebony and an Inspired by Gibson ES 335...the Casino is so light but the 335 is heavier...the 335 like the Sheraton you can use at any sort of gig and get the tones. Great keeper guitars.....I just bought the first telecaster I ever bonded with..never liked them but I found the one for me...a butterscotch with black pickguard one...still getting used to it but I'm really more of a hollow body or semi hollow body player.
