smann Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Surfing eBay today and discovered a really nice sg elitist and could not resist pulling the trigger even thou I am not too big on purchasing guitars on eBay. Will post pics and impressions sometime next week. Now the hardest part, waiting!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kong Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Can't wait to see pics. I picked one up last Sunday and I'm blown away. What color did you get? I'll be interested in your opinion on the pickups, I think they sound amazing and the guitar has a very authentic SG sound. I looked up the sold listings on Ebay and I think I saw the one you bought. Mine is a 2004 as well in ebony so basically identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will post some pics when I get it back, in the meantime let's have a look at yours. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smann Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 Minor repairs turned into, not major, but more involved. After 32 days I got it back last night and all I can say it was so worth the wait. The guitar rings like a bell!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guitar rings like a bell!! Glad you got it all sorted and have it back . They are great guitars. I was extremely happy with the pickups in my SG. I have a couple Elitist Les Pauls with the same pickups and I'm not too thrilled with them, but in an SG they are right on the money for that signature SG tone (in my opinion).
