The 50th Anniversary “1962” Sheraton E212T and E212TV Outfits both feature 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.
The Sheraton’s electronics feature CTS potentiometers, Epiphone’s non-rotating ¼” output jack, Top Hat knobs with metal inserts, and Gibson USA mini-humbuckers for superior sound. The Sheraton comes with both the Frequensator™ tailpiece (T) and the Tremotone™ tremelo tailpiece (TV). The new Tremotone™ is also found on the critically acclaimed Ltd. Ed. Epiphone “1961” 50th Anniversary Casino.
The reissue Epiphone Tremotone™ tremolo bar was carefully redesigned and retooled to function and look exactly like the original but with subtle improvements to ensure that your Tremotone™ will last much longer than vintage models. Both the E212T and E212TV Outfits come with a period-correct hard case and a 1962 Collection Certificate of Authenticity. The Sheraton E212T is available in a Cherry, Natural and Vintage Sunburst color finish with a Frequensator™ tailpiece. The Sheraton E212TV features a Tremotone™ tailpiece and is available in Cherry.
