What is a three piece neck?
If you read "three-piece neck" in a description, it is referring to the kind of construction in jerrymac's picture, not a neck with a scarf-joint. Virtually every Epiphone would be described as "three-piece" otherwise, as the majority are made with a joint between the headstock (though they are more carefully hidden these days).
Does the Epiphone have a 5 piece neck?
Yes is does have the 5 piece neck, but so do the MIC ones. The 2009 specs, which I assume refers to MIC, posted on the Epiphone site, specifically mentions the 5 piece maple neck.

Having looked at lot of various Guitar Forums, the general Concensus seems to be that most swap out the stock pickups, the question is are they poor or is it a personal preference for Better pickups, The Sheraton is a great looking guitar but do the pick ups let it down?

more personal preference in my opinion. I just got done setting up an Epiphone SG Special that someone had rescued from the trash bin. Once I got the guitar into a playable state and was able to plug in, I was pleasantly surprised how good the pickups sounded in this lower end guitar.

Don't know about the Sheraton stock pickups, but recently picked up a Casino and really like the stock P90's. Probably a combination of cork sniffers and personal preference. Have no plans to swap them out. Was immediately able to dial in fantastic sounds and pairs well with my amps and pedals.

I love my MIK Sheraton II, and I agree, the pups and switch are the weak links, but when I finally decided to swap them out I bought a pair of GFSs on fleaBay for dirt cheap. So, I ordered new pots, switch, jack, resistors and wiring to do the 50's wiring.

obsessed has it right, the pups are ok, its the pots and wiring that hold the sheratons back. Ive had 4 of them, all great guitars.

I've had my Sheraton II for over 5 years and it still has the stock pups. I think they sound fine, but I'm not a tone connoisseur... yet.

I still have the stock pups in my Sheraton II & I love the tone from them, the gold coating is getting a little worn these days but I feel no need to change them at all.
