Barcham Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 They should have made it an Elitist!!! But at least it has Gibson P90s in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke17 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 What a coincidence...bud from Cali just messaged me about this guitar...looked it up on Epi site...nice, stiff price but I'm sure its worth it...looks like its due out this Spring... Burchster, is that your UJ on eBay?.... If it is it is certainly a great price...wish you luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis G Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Yes...I ordered one from sweetwater... I'm done with Musicians Friend...they need to teach the warehouse staff how to pack a guitar I've ordered from both. Here's my experience: SW actually unpacks the guitar, does a checklist, repacks it and ships it (or calls you if there are "issues" - I have personal experience with this) MF takes the mfgr box off the shelf, slips it into an MF box and out the door it goes. As always, YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis G Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 They should have made it an Elitist!!! But at least it has Gibson P90s in it. As much as I like the look of this thing, I have an Elitist Casino that is really my go to and I paid less for it than Epi wants for this thing. Can't blame it on the Bigsby, they're only $125 or so (I added one to my Elitist) and I agree, they should have made it an Elitist and charged a couple more $$'s. I'd be more tempted to buy an IBJL and add the Bigsby than pay what they want for the blak n blu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The street prices will probably be something like $799 for the trap model and $849 for the one with the Bigsby. Red 333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As always, YMMV. Yea I should have stuck with sweetwater in the first place but MF had them in stock...I got 3 UJ Sheratons from MF the first two had fatal neck damage from shipping...the last one was just the guitar case thrown into one of there boxes not even double boxed...thankfully the damage wasn't fatal to it just cosmetic. Sweetwater from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 333 DOH! That makes a lot more sense, Red, thanks. I still think that they should have made this an Elitist though, but I'm sure they're looking at # of units sold.
