franciscog Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 someone is selling one for 710 US. its from 98, so its more than 10 years old...is it worth that much money?
Suicidehummer Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 If it's made in japan, then it's an Elitist. Did he tell you that? That's a little steep IMO, but everybody on Fleabay wants just about the same.
sexygibson Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 No; its not an Elitist if its a '98. It sounds like a crafted in Japan Epi built for the Japanese market. If its in good shape i would say $600 to $700 is about right. The Japanese Epis' aren't up to Elitist standards but are a notch above Epis' standard line.

Ive heard that the mij non elitist are as good if not better than the elitists.
Ricochet Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 For the same money I'd buy a nice Edwards LP and have it shipped from Japan.
franciscog Posted December 31, 2008 Author Posted December 31, 2008 Im surprised to hear someone say that in an epiphone website....I want an epiphone. I think Im going to wait it out untill I can find a good elitist/elite/mij epiphone for less.
pohatu771 Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 They seem to come in waves... two weeks ago, there were two dozen Japanese Epiphones on eBay. Yesterday, there were two. Prices range from $500 to $1000 for solidbodies, the hollowbodies cost at least $1000. Have you considered an Orville? Les Paul Custom Classic Les Paul Custom

If you really want an Elitist LP, Ishibashi Japan still has some but it will set you back approx 1200 bucks. Shipping is another 150.
