I'm looking for a white one. Basically an exact replacement for the stock one which has been lost. I have s friend who has an 05 peerless one I'm going to measure against mine

What are the options for finding a good matching replacement?

Any pics of the finished thing?

unless you want flats I don't know why anybody wouldn't go with elixir. last forever. unless you are a real audiphile and can tell the difference between the long shiny ones and the rest

I have never seen a guitar and thought, I need that because of the colour but when I do buy a guitar, I generally want it in a specific colour. I'm not a big Fender fan but I have a strat and a tele but they had to be sonic blue and black respectively ;)

I want one in sunburst!! Lovely

I have always been put off by the Elitist' "Modern" specs. For me, I'd be just as happy with this as the 1965 ones and make the mods myself. It's good to see Epiphone really making an effort to bring back a lot of the 60s touches over the last few years.

Looks like the Elitist is getting a new treatment with more 60s correct specs. Not got any official Lennon association but much similar to his specs than the previous Elitist model. Nitro, Klusons, Blue Label, Nylon Saddles, two hole TRC... All you need is a black washer and a foil e. $10-20 and it's there! http://www.epiphone.com/Products/Archtop/Ltd-Ed-Elitist-1965-Casino-Vintage-Outfit.aspx

I'd go with the grommet in CB's link above. Better than rubber washer's for authenticity as the originals were plastic. Switchcraft switch is a good standard replacement

CB - I'm pretty sure Corian is the period correct nut material

The B7 is the way to go. Also crazy parts in Germany do lots of USA and German made parts that would be direct replacements. I don't get why you would want to change the essence if the guitar for issues that's can be easily resolved with like for like parts of better quality

I've never had any reason to upgrade from the Kyser/Schubb style quick release but have heard the G7 ones are good.

My Dot Deluxe has the best neck of all my electrics so no, they're not unplayable

The Dot Deluxe has an awesome fat D profile neck. So not wide from fret to hand, but quite big from E to E, surprisingly comfortable and great for lead. I have small hands too but prefer this chunkier feel than the necks on my Casino and Riviera...

yeah pictures of the back of the headstock and inside label would be helpful

Because I have a lot of ins and outs I tend to keep a couple of boxes handy but generally chuck most and get hard cases for each guitar

I can recommend the axetreme 60s style foil one. Bought those for a lot of my epis

Yeah to me they're two different things.

Awesome refin!

The riviera and casino are pretty much side by side models. The 335 is more popular than the 330 and the casino more so than the riviera. In terms of quality, the modern rivieras and casinos are pretty much identic in quality depending on if you're comparing standard models or the better quality electronics of the ltd edition anniversary models

I like the look of these a lot!

What is wrong with the one you've got?
