Pickups for Epiphone Sheraton II

[bobsvine]

What would be a good set of pickups for an Epiphone Sheraton II? Can I get them gold plated?

Hi bobsvine, and welcome to the forum. I was just looking at that guitar over at Epi's site. Gorgeous guitar.

Anyway, you should probably mention what style, and type of music you like to play, and one of the more knowledgable amonst us will chime in with some recommendations.

Good morning ArtieToo. I play mostly at my church doing praise and worship songs. I play along with another guitar player (acoustic), keyboard, bass, and violin. I like a clean sound mostly and every now and then like a little punch.

Seths would go nicely and they come in gold

Seth Lovers are what came immediately to mind for me too! Your Epi will sound alot like a '58 ES 335 with the Seths. If you wanted a little hotter bridge pickup, maybe a Seth Lover and Custon Custom. But I'd go with a set of the Seths first.

GREETINGS!!!

I had a pair of Gibson '57 Classics(Classic neck/Classic Plus bridge) in my Epi Sheraton....BEAUTIFUL!!!

But I bought them before finding this site!!! :13:

Puckboy99,
Did you have a Sheraton or a Sherato II?

I had a Sheraton II....sold it when I was looking for an acoustic & bought my Guild D-55. I needed the extra cash & it was the low man out.....super sweet guitar though!

Here's a tip if you're gonna swap thing out yourself: Use a "G" string as a fishing line when pulling out/putting in the pots & switch. Just kind of make a loop @ one end to fish things through. Works like a charm!!!
