A factory second is a guitar with a small cosmetic flaw that does not effect playability. Most times, you will not even be able to find the flaw...
For Epiphone designers of the late 50s who were eager to show that the House of Stathopoulo was alive and well, the original Sheraton was a radical new approach combining the power of a solidbody with the easy-to-carry feel of an archtop. In fact, the Sheraton was one of the first guitars Epiphone exhibited at the 1958 NAMM show to announce it was back in business. The original Sheraton combined the same feedback-resistant qualities of the ES-335 with historic Epiphone inlays and cosmetics. Today, the modern Sheraton II has many of the same features that made the original Sheraton a classic but with a few choice refinements. Epiphone devotee John Lee Hooker perhaps had the ultimate Sheraton II description when he called it an "out done 335." |
