gl297 Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Around $1000.00us give or take in a private sale or on-line auction. About $125.00 if you trade it in at your local guitar shop.....so don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexygibson Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Hi, and welcome to the forum. As the previous poster stated, I would expect you could get around a grand, but that may be on the high side. $800-$900 you could easily get. Might I ask what you traded for it ? I think if you keep that Elitist and played it for a bit you would not consider selling, but , if you do, you are welcome to use our " Buy & Sell " section here on the forum.

MikesEpiElitist Posted May 29, 2010 Author Share Posted May 29, 2010 wow, didn't think it'd be worth that much! I traded an Ibanez SZ2020 prestige for it. I was selling the ibanez and was offered a trade for the Epi Elitist. It does play very nice for clean and dirty. I took the trade cause I never had a Les Paul type of guitar and I was interested in trying it out. Thanks for the welcome and the replies!

MikesEpiElitist Posted May 29, 2010 Author Share Posted May 29, 2010 Yes, the red is darker in person and the binding is more of a cream and the truss rod cover says "Elitist" not Gibson. Mine's not a fake is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine's not a fake is it?[/quote']From what I can see it's not a fake, but a great guitar! If I didn't have 2 of them already I would buy it. The picture I posted is from the Epiphone press site, this pictures almost never show the accurate colors. My red Elite ES-335 also looks way more beautiful in person. Epiphone changed the truss rod cover during the production time afaik. Both my Elites have the Gibson inscription, but I saw a lot of Elitists with the Elitist inscription as well.
