The 50th Anniversary “1962” Sheraton E212T features the original early ’60s Sheraton profile with a laminated maple body with period correct binding, a 5-layer bound tortoise-style pickguard with metal foil “E”, and a mahogany neck with a 1960s SlimTaper profile. The rosewood fingerboard has 22 medium jumbo frets, pearloid and Abalone Block and Triangle inlays, and Grover “kidney” style machine heads with a 14:1 ratio on a dovewing 3-on-a-side headstock with pearloid vine inlay.

The Sheraton was Epiphone’s original flagship, top-of-the-line semi-hollow archtop and the “1962” Anniversary puts the Sheraton back at the top where it belongs… in style.
