Price wise the Sheraton was an expensive guitar, I forget the exact figures but I think it sat between the mono and stereo versions of the 355.ĭoes the neck material effect the sound? I think so, yes. Once the laminated necks were used up the Sheraton reverted to a mahogany one piece neck. The Sheraton inherited various ingredients taken from pre-Gibson Epiphone stock including a stock of laminated necks, and the inlays were Epiphone product, but the design was done by Gibson.
Gibson introduced the 335 around April 1958, the 355 and Sheraton following at the end of the year. Just for historical pedantry points, the Sheraton was a Gibson design.
