Epi Elitist L00 or L00 Croce

Anyone own / played one of these, care to describe the tone? Are these really rare? Poly finish on these or Nitro? And how do they compare to say Eastman 00 guitars (I believe these are Nitro & all solid woods also), would they be heavier or lighter build?

Elitist acoustic models have been made by Terada in Japan for Gibson/Epiphone. Although some Terada models have used nitro (AIUSA Sheraton & Casino, McCartney Texan), Elitists have traditionally had poly finishes (some very recent Elitists for the Japanese market have nitro).

 

The models you cite are rather rare. I've never had the opportunity to play either one, so cannot comment on tone or weight. But having three Terada made instruments, I can say their build quality is consistently very high.
