Epiphone's ES-355

This 16-inch guitar weighs 9.00 lbs. and has a nut width of just over 1 5/8 inches and a scale length of 24 3/4 inches. Laminated maple body with maple central block, five-piece mahogany, walnut, and maple neck, and rosewood fretboard with 22 wide jumbo frets and pearl block position markers with v-shaped abalone inlays. Individual Grover Roto-Matic tuners with half-moon metal buttons. Two Epiphone mini-humbucker pickups with outputs of 7.25k and 7.45k. Tortoiseshell with five-layer (white/black/white/black/white) plastic pickguard. Four controls (two volume, two tone) plus three-way selector switch. Gold plastic bell-shaped knobs with metal tops. Tune-O-Matic bridge with retainer and Epiphone vibrato tailpiece with Epiphone stylized "E" on the rosewood inlay. All hardware gold-plated (a little tarnished). A minimal amount of belt buckle scarring on the back, one tiny chip, with surface loss about the size of a match head, in the center of the back of the guitar, a few additional tiny marks and scratches, a minimal amount of surface checking, and minimal amount of wear to edge of headstock. Otherwise a spectacular example. Housed in a later black hardshell case with black plush lining.

The Epiphone Sheraton is on par with, but more deluxe than, the Gibson ES-355.
