The Gibson '57 Classic is a popular choice.

Have a look at Vintage Vibe Guitars pickups also. You can tell Pete Biltoft the sound you are after and he'll give you alternatives or build a custom one for you.

I put a SD '59 (SH-1?) in it: didn't like it.. the all-maple construction of the Sheraton needs something warmer with more mids. So I swapped it for a StewMac Golden Age: much better!

But my Sheraton got replaced by my ES-333 with classic '57s. They sound killer in there, but the Gibby is a different beast, so no guarantee they sound good in a Sheraton.

I think the Sheraton is a bright instrument that lacks warm mids a bit because of it's all-maple construction, so you need a pickup that can deal with that.
