'This' is the immortal Greg Koch who demo's guitars for Wildwood Guitars. He has a long and distinguished career opening for just about every band in America. He has about a 100 videos on Wildwood, where he demonstrates starts, tele's , Les Pauls', Gibson 335s and dozens of other types. He is very bright as well as accomplished, which is why thousands of people watch his reviews.

@fmartin094 жыл бұрын
First, this guy is not only super funny, he's a MONSTER player. I own a Sheraton II and I put a burstbacker on the bridge. It's an amazing guitar (I own 2 Gibson les paul, an es-335, fender strat, telecaster, Gretch, L'arrivee, etc.) My point is, I am a big guitar snob with resources to get anything I want. DON'T let the name Epiphone scare you or think any less of it. Most of my guitars are new but I got a Sheraton II used on GC Atlanta (mint condition) as an impulse buy (yes, made in China.) Guys, this guitar sings, amazing tone, playability ,and the craftsmanship is super strong. I can put it against any of my far more expensive brand name guitars and it's of equal if not better quality. Noel Gallagher played live and recorded with this model guitar (we all know his huge rock sound.) If you get one you will not be disappointed.

Its Greg Koch :-) One of the best chicken pickers, and he also has a huge sense of humour. I also use a Sheraton II from 1996, she is a korean violin finished beauty. I changed the nut with Graph-tech one, the neck pickup with a Bare Knuckle "The Mule" pup, the keys with Kluson tuners, and the strins with Thomastik Infeld "12 swing strings. I dont know anything about the new models, but mine is a killer now :-)

Greg did seem to spend an inordinate amount of time on the specs of the Sheraton II, possibly because of some push Epiphone made to boost sales. It worked, at least in my case. I love this guitar. Made in Korea, feels great to play, and sounds great. Definitely, as he says, good bang for the buck. The new Sheraton II Pro is made in China, but has been getting great reviews. Epiphone appears to be phasing out the standard Sheraton II. If having a Korean-made Sheraton is important to you, you may want to grab one before they're gone for good.

As for gold hardware.. nothing like a bit of free market capitalism to make you feel good about yourself! Go on, get one.

The guitar Noel Gallagher created the first Oasis album on, sold millions, before he went all rock star and started buying '65 335's :) Pretty certain he borrowed an LP from Johnny Marr for a couple of the tracks but this was his early go to guitar. And of course back in the day Epiphone was the high quality brand that Gibson aspired to match, not the other way around. Beatles cannot be wrong.
