Epiphone Sheraton II or Ibanez AS73?

[duffin123]

hi guys, I have a quick question

which one is better, Epiphone Sheraton II or Ibanez AS73?

I've never compared but I really like the Epi. I have a buddy that has one and its lovely. I would like one.

I found the Ibby's neck to be more comfy than the Epiphone - a tad wider at the nut, and a less pronounced "C" shape neck profile, which made the difference for me.  I had an AS73 for a few years and found it quite worthwhile, completely unmodified.  It was a factory second due to a stripped pickup mounting ring screwhole - which means I got it for $175. Booyah, etc., etc.


  If I felt the need for another ES335 ripoff, I'd go Ibanez again, if I were on a budget; otherwise, Carvin.
