The Beatles Sound Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 This is a little revenge against fate, I was looking for a SG Elite and I found this beauty, now I need to wait a bit to get home, I am really very happy, because it is difficult to find a guitar in this old series and that is completely new it is quite incredible.

mgrmatt Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Looks great and I'm sure it sounds as good as it looks. Congrats! Matt
JohnMcClane5000 Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 I cannot believe how great that finish looks! Enjoy this masterpiece of guitar! je suis un peu jaloux
frenchie1281734003 Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 That is one lovely looking Casino. Congrats on your good fortune, and enjoy.
duane v Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 YIKES!!! .... What a gorgeous site these eyes behold... Congrats on the new purchase
JefferySmith Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 I lucked out and got a NOS Elite Byrdland (NAT) a few years back. The case for the Elite was nicer than my case for the Elitist. Go figure.
markerdown Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 I think I'm your image in the mirror. I was looking for a Casino elite and wound up with an SG 61 elite.. but I still have the hollow body GAS.... Nice axe.. .........................markerdown
Red 333 Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 I lucked out and got a NOS Elite Byrdland (NAT) a few years back. The case for the Elite was nicer than my case for the Elitist. Go figure. I have 12 Elitists or Elites all told. Just the logo is different; the case is the same (with the exception of the Lennon Casinos, naturally, and the McCartney Texan). Is your case grey-lined, and not purple? If so, maybe the seller kept the purple-lined case and gave you a standard Epiphone grey-lined case. Red 333

L1Picker Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Great looking guitar. The Elite series guitars are top notch all the way. Good score!
Red 333 Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Not' date=' it's really your hard Case ... Look these Hard Case of their firts Epiphone [b']Elitist[/b] I guess I don't understand what you're trying to tell me. Are those two SGs yours? If so, are the two cases different in some way? Except for the lining showing up in the photo as a more blue color in one photo (as it often does), those look like the same cases all Elites/Elitist came with. Is there something different about them or in the Casino picture I missed in the photos? As I said, I have both Elite and Elitist models, and there is nothing different between either the guitar or the case except the logo, which had to be changed due to a service mark dispute. I have one of the faded SGs like in the second photo, though mine has the regular Elitist headstock. It's a great guitar, isn't it? And congrats on your Elite Casino. They are lovely guitars. All the Elitists are very well made and sound great. Yours looks mint. It's wonderful that you found one in such great condition. Enjoy!

caulkhead Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 Would it be rude to asked what you paid for this beauty? Ball park figure will do, just wondering what these go for.
