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 " 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 Frequesator tailpiece. The Sheraton E212TV features a Tremotone tailpiece and is available in Cherry.
