John Lee Hooker - Epiphone Sheraton II

John Lee Hooker perfected a droning, stomping groove, often in idiosyncratic time signatures and locked on one chord for monumental classics like "Boogie Chillen", "Boom Boom" and "Crawlin' King Snake."

Hooker played many Gibson ES-335 or ES-345 type guitars, but is most closely identified with the Epiphone Sheraton II, which had a stop tailpiece versus the original (introduced in 1958) Sheraton's "Frequensator" tailpiece.
