Epi:Elitist LP Custom/LP Custom/B-stock Custom

[studdhuss]

I need sum advice on these guitars.

I find the Elitist LP Custom for $1099 a deal and am tempted to pull the trigger, yet I also very much like the Epiphone LP Custom for $599...recently played a 2007 Quingdao made beauty that was next to flawless.

Also, now MF is blowing out their refurb Epi LP Custom stock for an amazing $399. Trouble is I don't need a fixer upper. I want it 'ready to roll'

That's why I need advice.

In the end I want a trouble free/next to nothing needs to be upgraded type o' deal.

The Epiphone Elitist LP Custom seems to be just what I'm after I THINK,

considering how much I spent on the Epi SG Custom to make it my 'go to guitar'.

Last but Not Least, the VM Gibson LP for $799. That seems almost a no brainer.

USA Gibson LP quality for $799. Even if it is a bare bones body, it still has that consistent grain Mahogany that really sings when played.

High Altitude choice Mahogany.

Choices Choices.

I don't think you could go wrong with either. I'd have a hard time turning down the VM due to the Burstbuckers.
