Epiphone Sheraton or Telecaster 72 thinline.
Im in the market for a humbucker equipped guitar and I'm torn between these two. Anyone have any experience with these and want to help me make my decision?

Decision's easy for me: Sheraton. The 335 shape/design just seems to produce nice tones with a variety of PU's. They're very comfortable to hold, standing or sitting, because the body isn't thick. A good set of PAF's in a 335 is hard to beat.

Simple answer. If you want warm sound go Sheraton, if you're cold person go Thinline.

I too would probably opt for the Sheraton. My 335s are getting a lot of play time lately.

Another option for you might be one of the G&L ASAT Tributes. Several different pickup combinations, so you might find something interesting there.

Jap 72 Thinline pickups are a different beast to the US and Mex ones, about 11 plus compared to 8's.
Mate, you need a Sheraton AND a 72 Tele, and possibly a Casino too.

Are we talking current vintage, or vintage vintage?

These are two completely different beasts. What do you plan on playing?

Of course, you could split the difference with an Epiphone ES-339. http://www.epiphone.com/Products/Archtop/ES-339-PRO.aspx
