clarkuss Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 I see what you were all talking about now... Pics to follow.
AS90 Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 Congrats!! I went to snag the Custom on ebay for £380 but it had gone! :(
mgrmatt Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 Is it just me, I'm having trouble seeing the pics...oh wait there aren't any!!! just kidding Congrats, you've scored an excellent Les Paul I look forward to seeing it . mgm
clarkuss Posted March 28, 2009 Author Posted March 28, 2009 Alright, alright! Hold yer horses. I wish I had also bought the custom because the quality of these guitars is amazing. I received a nice letter from the taxman today saying I had a rebate and could finally pay for my long awaited Elitist Casino. There's got to be some irony in that? Taxman/Epiphone Casino... Here are some pics of the LP. Same crappy camera though I'm afraid! The headstock is much cleaner than it looks in the pics. There's hardly a visible mark on this guitar, just the light playing tricks. I was very impressed when it arrived. And the case... quality.
mgrmatt Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 HNGD!!! That flame top looks great, and the quality of those is awesome. If my memory is correct they come with a 50sr and a 60st USA humbucker which I love ,some people feel like they don't have enough bottom end but they work well for me. What kind of amp/amp's do you use? Anyway you have a winner, thanks for the pics!!! mgm
mgrasso Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 HNGD Congratulations on your first Elitist. Beautiful. Love the flame and finish. How does she feel and sound?
RSDx Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 Sweet It's a darned shame Gibson/Epi discontinued the Elitists ........ enjoy it !!!! It's a beaut, and I'm sure you'll love it !!!!
sexygibson Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 Beautiful guitar ! I have owned numerous Les Pauls; Gibson Standards, Studios, Epi Standards and Elitists. I can tell you that the Elitist is a HIGH quality guitar.
mgrmatt Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 Sweet It's a darned shame Gibson/Epi discontinued the Elitists ........ enjoy it !!!! It's a beaut' date=' and I'm sure you'll love it !!!! [/quote'] Yeah it sucks, I wonder if the sales had slipped that far? I don't know where I fall in Epi marketing public but none of the new stuff that they have brough to the table appeals to me. Atleast people can still find gems like this Les Paul! mgm
acewarslave Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 damitts nice there are a couple of dots elites selling on ebay australia at the moment if any ones interested ive been drooling but i prefure the les paul models=p~
frenchie1281734003 Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Well done Clarkuss, you can`t go wrong with an Elite/Elitist, and for that price, what a bargain!
chewy1281734128 Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 not a les paul man myself, but thats a fine looking guitar
DJB08 Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Wow. that's pretty remarkable. It's funny because with some Epi LP bodies there is a mild but, obvious difference from the Gibson LP's. they're almost...thicker. mildy mind you! But, that looks identical almost. Such a shame that they're discontinued. Hearts me heart!
jer56 Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Congrats! Looks just like my baby...got my Elite in 2003 on E-bay in that same gorgeous T-burst. You will really love this guitar, the quality is unbelievable for the price. Got mine brand new off a music store wall for a winning bid of $740.00. Mind if I ask what you paid and what year it is?
Svet Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 That really is a pretty guitar! That might be the best looking LP Elitist I've ever seen!
acewarslave Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 I always see dot eliste over here but not a lot of les pauls and normally not cheap..
JefferySmith Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Your first Elite/Elitist? Congrats! If they only had nitro finishes, they might be a......Gibson.

It's tastefully done poly -- and will outlast that soft nitro by decades -- maybe a real downside to the relic-ed lovers. A real GEM there clarkuss, congrats and enjoy! ...but it can't be THE nicest Elite LP b/c I've owned it since '03 - LOL :D/ Hit every BLUE NOTE baaaby..., I'm going to play on:-"
