JefferySmith Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Someone on fleabay is selling a Les Paul Nuclear Extreme and passing it off as an Epiphone Elitist. Sadly, some people are bidding on it anyway even though someone called the seller's bluff and told them that it isn't an Elitist. I think it may be the ugliest guitar I've ever seen. Like a skin disease from the SciFi Channel. What did these go for new? From Harmony Central reviews and a few places on the web, they seemed to have been somewhere around $249 street.

charlie brown Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 But did they sell them as "Elitist Pet Rocks"? Probably...if it sold 'em, they probably tried everything! Might have added a Bigsby, too! Then they'd have a real (Pet) "Rock Guitar!" OK...that was terrible....LOL! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pohatu771 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Believe it or not, it actually looks better than a pair of Les Paul clones I saw at Guitar Center. They had similar designs, but were actually textured... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange Crush Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 If you have never played one, then I will say you are missing out. I have a red and yellow one and it is a great guitar. Yes, the colors take a little getting use to but for playability and sound, it is a great guitar. I love the pickups and that is why I bought the guitar. If the color bothers you, paint it.

RotcanX Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Actually they were pretty expensive. Part of the 'e' series line of guitars from 2000 or thereabouts, and since it had the set neck it was priced about the same, if not more, than a LP Standard.
