Hi All, Did I miss something about a price increase on the Elitist Casino? MF & GC have them at $1799.99 where they have been $1499.99 for awhile. I was just wondering, I checked out the news link on Epi's web site and didn't see it mentioned.

I mentioned this in another post about Sheratons. Actually the Elitist Casinos were always $1,399 on MF, and they were $1,499 at SW. Then they jumped astronomically to $1,799 and now SW is obviously the better deal. I was lucky to get a "1 used" Casino from MF in September at just over $1k (had a 10% off used coupon) when they were selling new for $1,399. I figured if I didn't like the condition I could always send it back. Guitar came flawless, looked untouched, plastic pickup and pickguard covers and all stickers etc were all intact! Check ebay, the Casinos regularly sell for under $1k in nice/new condition and unlike the Sheratons there are lots of them.

I feel real good now. My SW rep emailed last May saying something about he was having a sale, so tell him what you wanted and he'd make you an offier. I'd been talking to him about the Elitist for a while so I emailed him with that. He came back at $1299. Done deal!!! Had to wait 5 months for it to arrive but man was it worth the wait! [thumbup]

Yeah definitely worth the wait, they're truly great guitars!
