Members matterday Posted June 9, 2009 Members Share Posted June 9, 2009 I'm offing my Hwy1 Telecaster (my $300 Partscaster is just worlds better and I have no need for two guitars with single coils) and I've gotten two offers for Sheratons. I've always wanted a Sheraton and now is my chance. So, what are things to look for when trying them out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members matterday Posted June 9, 2009 Author Members Share Posted June 9, 2009 I don't like the positioning of the strap buttons. I use Schaller strap locks, am I going to be nutted by the ball end every time the guitar moves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Reverb728 Posted June 9, 2009 Members Share Posted June 9, 2009 I'll tell you the one thing I know about Sheratons. They're awesome.That being said, I always seemed to hit my cuticle on the low E string hard for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members echodeluxe Posted June 9, 2009 Members Share Posted June 9, 2009 Everybody and their mother has one. i dont think this is really true. i have seen more people with them, but i still feel there arent that many people who use them. i got my sheraton in unused condition with a hardshell case for $400. great deal. its a great guitar. i put a GFS nashville in the bridge, but im gonna stick the stock HB back into it. they are fine. the sound you hear in that video i linked is the stock pickups, and its a great sound. i have straplocks on mine and i never have issues. the pegs are in a good place and they keep the guitar balanced well.
