I have a white Sherry from about 1993 that is a great guitar. I did change to Epiphone Les Paul humbuckers, full size CTS pots, switchcraft switch and jack. Wired it using a Gibson 50's scheme.
I removed the 5 ply black pickguard. I have not had a problem with feedback due to the solid "log" inside. The guitar is definitely heavier than a true hollow body, but no heavier than a Strat.
To my mind the only negative is the difficulty of finding a bridge and tailstop that fits. As far as I know, if you want to change them for any reason you'll have to modify to fit.

One of the things that I particularly like about the Sheraton is there is no Gibson counterpart. If you want a Sherry, you have to get an Epiphone. It's not a less expensive version of a Gibson.
Here's mine:
