Quality:
Yes, mine has held up for quite a long time.

Sounds amazing, I get a very good vintage tone out of this thing.

Oh ya, I own a 1992 Sheraton II and it still plays amazing.
Overall:
Plays like a guitar of much greater value.

It plays like a guitar in a much higher price range.
Tone:
Lots of tonal options.

I don't know how it was out of the box, but almost 20 years later and it's still great.

Timewarp Guitar from Rhode Island
Subject:
Love it or Hate it
Quality:
I think that my Epi is very well made,and I've been happy with it for many years,other than the original pick ups.
Sound:
I have the older one with the Korean pickups. I loved playing the guitar,but was always looking for a little more "something" from the pickups.I finally had a set of hot Seymour Duncans put in,with coil taps and phase switching via push pull pots.Now I feel I have the best of all combinations. I play this guitar as much as my Heritage H170CM.
Reliability:
I've had it over since new,well over 10 years,and it's finally showing some degradation in the gold plating. Other than that the guitar is still excellent.
Overall:
A great guitar for the money,plays extremely well.Finish was excellent.Have owned it for years.
Playability and Feel:
It feels light and comfortable to play,just a bit neck heavy,but it becomes natural with time. The neck took a bit of getting used to,but any guitar feels strange when it's new to you. The controls are pretty much where you'd expect them to be on this guitar,so I was comfortable with it from gitgo. The original jack was "loose" so the plug would back out on occasion. That was changed out early on.
Tone:
The tone from the original pick ups was never really pleasing to me. The neck pick up was okay,fairly mediocre response. The bridge p/u was terrible. Too weak,thin,no guts.The Duncans brought this from back up guitar to main guitar.
Finish:
I have the natural finish,and still think it's one of the nicest looking guitars I've ever seen.
Action:
The action was super right out of the box. I use extremely light strings,and get no buzzing or tuning problems.

Bought it new in the mid to late eighties.

Sound:
A little muddy. The pickups lack a bit of clarity. Still a great sound though. Suited more for blues and jazz than 60' and 70's rock IMO.
Reliability:
Pickup selector is a bit dicey and requires a little wiggle sometimes.
Overall:
Great guitar for the money.
Playability and Feel:
A little stiff. You can really feel the guitar speak in your hands though. The semi-hollow body really resonates in your hands.
Finish:
Beautiful. No complaints.
Action:
A bit high for my taste. Especially the higher registers.

tom Danisher from Lacey, WA
Quality:
Chinese made but still comparable to a Gibby at $600 vs. $2800 for a Dot.
Overall:
Wanted one for YEARS! FINALLY, ordered one.Unimpressed upon arrival, finish not quite as good as some Ive seen in stores. Playability was poor. ALMOST sent back, instead took to shop and had a pro setup. VERY, very happy now. Own a Fender American Fat Strat and a Tele, THIS is what I now play mostly.
Playability and Feel:
After a $50 setup from my local guitar shop it plays GREAT!
Tone:
SemiHollow tone and good (not GREAT) pickups. Dont plan on changing anything!
Finish:
Not as nicely done as some I have played in stores but thats the chance you take ordering online. Dont like it? AMS will gladly exchange so n.p.:)
Action:
I ALMOST sent this one back due to poor setup/or time and conditions since then.

John V. from New Hampshire
Subject:
owned one since '94
Quality:
Yes!!!! 5 STAR!!! It has never let me down in all the years I have owned it
Sound:
Tone and sound are great I have it mached with a Vox AC30CC2 amp and it sounds great!!
Reliability:
The finish has stood up great. most gold tone has worn off the pick ups and machine heads as well as the stop bar and bridge. this year I had to replace the imput jack and the toggle switch. But Like I sad I used this as my main axe for many years giging
Overall:
Are you kiding for the price point you can't go wrong!!! I love this guitar!!! I used it as my main gig guitar for alot of years I have quite a number of guitars now. And still reach for this one offten as I reach for my higher end guitars
Playability and Feel:
Neck is very good has a nice feel and smooth I can get up down it very fast for riffs, cording is nice action very good I don't have to feel like I have to man handle for riffs. Again set up goes a long way to get it the best for you and your playing.
Tone:
like most double humbukers they are able to get very sweet tones and can get down and dirty pleanty of room very thick and deep if you know what I mean
Finish:
The finish has stood up great. but I am a polish freak. what can I say :-)
Action:
I can't remember that far back but I usualy go over my guitars my self every now and then just to make sure every thing is to my liking. I think every one should keep up on this weather changes and humity can change every thing so if you want it have great action always if you don't know how to or you are unsure have it go over by a trained guitar tech. and then check it your self every now then

Epiphone Sheraton II Electric Guitar A Great Value In Todays Economy
Quality:
I do not think you will find better quality for the money,no issues at all
Sound:
The tone is what I was searching for,I play with a Blackheart tube amp,They work really well together.If you do not have a quality amp it does not matter which guitar you play you will not be happy with the sound,real tube amps are the only way to go for me.
Reliability:
Very reliable,if you do not abuse the Sheraton and treat it like a musical instrument it should last you a life time.
Overall:
Fit finish and sound at a realistic price.A great guitar for any player.
Playability and Feel:
The playability was good as any other guiat I have played ,the neck was smooth and the controls were placed very well and easy to use.
Tone:
The tone is what would be expected,again it depends on the amp and pedal as the determinig factor.
Finish:
The finish was flawless
Action:
The action was good.
