P-90's tend to sound different on guitars with different construction, so the semi-hollow Riviera brings out different tones from the same pickups than the fully-hollow Casino. The neck on a Sheri also feels (and is) stiffer, with less flex. This gives the Sheraton a brighter tone than your LP with humbuckers (and a mahogany neck). Hahaha.Īnyways, yes, I am rambling because it is 2 am in Malaysia, and I have tonnes of work to do and at the same time trying to figure out which guitar I should buy.The construction of the two guitars is almost the same - the Riv90 has a mahogany neck, while the Sheraton is laminated maple. But you can probably figure out that I am trying to decide this based on the aesthetics of these two guitars. Yes the Sheraton has a coil splitting, that’s a bonus. My Gear Acquisition Syndrome is unfortunately acting up while Covid situation in my country is not so good, all guitar stores can only operate for online purchases. Guitars that I own - Fender American Standard Strat in Olympic White, Epi Les Paul Studio in Ebony, Taylor GS Mini Rosewood, Epi EJ200-CE in Sunburst, and Cordoba C5-Ce.Īnother thing is I have never tried any of these guitars. But I am obviously gravitated towards the 335 as well since a Cherry finish is available. I love the block inlays on the Sheraton, the bindings, the Tree of Life headstock. Price difference in my country (Malaysia) between the 2? Around USD 85 as I am getting a discount on the Sheraton Natural finish since it is considered as a New Old Stock.

The Epi ES-335 in Cherry Red is available in my country. I am very 50-50 about it, but it does not seem to be available in my country anyway.

The Epi Sheraton II Pro has a Wine Red color option. My dream guitar is the Gibson ES-355 in Cherry Red with Bigsby.
