I've had my Sheraton II since the late 90's. If you're a brand snob, the Epiphone may be an issue, but that has nothing to do with the actual guitar. Obviously, 5 stars for a $600 guitar and 5 stars for a $2000+ guitar have different meaning. In this price range, there are very few guitars as nice as the Sheraton II. There is debate about the quality of the current china made versus the earlier oversea epi's, but from what I've read, the newest ones are fine as well. From personal experience, many guitars just need minor adjustments in the setup to make all the difference, and that depends on personal preference. Nobody buys an expensive guitar and leaves it the way it was shipped, so why should an economical one not get the same adjustments? The only issue I've had with mine (earlier model) is that the gold plating has faded slightly, but it really just adds to the vintage look of the guitar. The pickups in mine have been great and I've not felt the urge to replace them with something "better." The finish on mine is beautiful and has been very durable, but the color of the vintage sunburst on the newer ones is not as dark as mine, so be aware of the change. The older ones like mine seem to be less yellow from what I've seen. It has a distinguished look and after 10 years, it plays even better than new.Get more detail about Epiphone Sheraton II Archtop Electric Guitar, Vintage Sunburst.
