There wasn’t a huge difference in the bodies. For most people though the 335’s neck isn’t going to be a dealbreaker. So I almost always prefer a smaller and slimmer neck. I’m a bit of an oddity as I have really small hands for a man. If felt a bit fatter in my hands but not so much so that it was unplayable. The ES-335 has a solid mahogany neck with a rounded C profile.

It has a 60’s slim taper which suited me as I have smaller hands. The Sheraton’s laminated neck is made from five pieces of maple and walnut and feels great – very comfortable. Epiphone Sheraton II Pro Pickups Body and Neck I preferred the Sheraton for its warmer tone but if you want something brighter then the ES-335 is the way to go. The Alnico Classic PRO pickups were brighter and punchier than the ProBuckers, making them ideal for country, rock and blues. The ProBuckers in the Sheraton are definitely more mellow with a good amount of warmth. It depends on what you are looking for though. I just think split coils are always muddy and never do a good job of mimicking single coils.īut I think the ProBuckers are definitely the better of the two and a noticeable upgrade. I’m not huge fan of the split coil sound and the ProBuckers haven’t converted me. The Sheraton ProBuckers are coil split too and the Classic PRO’s aren’t (you’d need to get the ES-335 Pro if you want coil split pups).

The major difference is the Sheraton has ProBucker pickups and the ES-335 has Alnico Classic PRO pickups.
