-I like the tone of the sheraton more thats all opinion tho

-I swaped out the pickups of my sheraton for 57's great choice

I got the Sheraton when i was 12 because 1 i was on a John Lee Hooker phase and 2 i wanted an ES-335 but they were to big for me at the time. Now im pretty tall and i dont regret my choice. Great guitar

They are made on the same floor of the same building in Qindao, China. I'd venture a guess by the same 9 year old child-laborers. So how different can they be? Buy a Fender MIM Tele Thinline with humbuckers or P-90's. It'll sound similar, costs the same, better QC, and at least they won't have child slave laborers making your axe, since Ensenada is NAFTA compliant.
