I still want to go try it but think the Shearton its going to be.With its roots going back to as early as 1873, Epiphone, an American musical instrument brand is unarguably one of the most reputable guitar brands in the world. Always something more important to pay for. The Gibson ES 335 is my dream guitar but out of my price range with having a young family with 3 boys aged 4, 5 and 8. If you enjoy the nice full Gibson 335 tone with its round bell-like chime and nice sparkly sound, you'll very much like the Sheraton with the really good sounding ProBuckers. My old ES330 with dog ear P90s sounded very different to my ES335 with humbuckers. Even in a studio recording the Sheraton would be perfectly at home.

As well, a fellow on youtube compares a Gibson ES335 and a Sheraton with ProBuckers and the Sheraton's tone is virtually indistinguishable from the far more expensive Gibson, the best 'Gibson' tone I've heard from a stock Epiphone Sheraton.

There is a distincly different tone between P90s and Hummers. You will get a big difference in tone in the Sheraton. I'm thinking of going to guitar guitar in Newcastle armed with my casino and plug the Sheri into a few different amps and compare it to the sound of the Sheri in the same amps and look at doing the same with the Riveria. I'm leaning towards the Sheri if it's a brighter sound. The plastic covers also sound different than the metal ones on the Casino.Īll this is theoretical - until you hear them with your own ears, these comments are only general, and may not really give you the definitive answers you're looking for. P-90's tend to sound different on guitars with different construction, so the semi-hollow Riviera brings out different tones from the same pickups than the fully-hollow Casino.

The neck on a Sheri also feels (and is) stiffer, with less flex. This gives the Sheraton a brighter tone than your LP with humbuckers (and a mahogany neck). The construction of the two guitars is almost the same - the Riv90 has a mahogany neck, while the Sheraton is laminated maple.
