The original Epiphone Sheratons were only produced from 1959 to 1969, with factory units totaling well under 1,000. Now, Epiphone has revitalized the classic semi-hollowbody as the Sheraton Frequensator, coming decked out with old-age charm and armed with its unique namesake tailpiece — just like the classic models. In choosing to take after the original specs, a 100% Maple center block body was the first significant step. With this brighter tonality and feedback-resistant design, you can expect fantastic attack. The well-sustaining Mahogany neck is also true to the past, but houses a smoother Indian Laurel fingerboard that only slightly differs from the Sheraton’s original Rosewood appointment. Atop the fingerboard are 22 fast-playing frets, marked by the classic mother-of-pearl block inlays that feature Sheraton-correct abalone “V” inserts. A set of ProBuckers seemed to be the natural choice for Epiphone when deciding on electronics. Manifesting such a tonality with hot presence and vintage character makes the Sheraton Frequensator a great candidate for a long list of genres, along with the added elegance of headstock, neck, and body binding, floral headstock inlay, and gold hardware. Epiphone branded bag included.
