Members tennisdude Posted May 5, 2005 Members Share Posted May 5, 2005 hey guys. I am really becoming interested in the gibson LP shape guitar (as opposed to fender strat). Anyway, most gibsons are way out of my league price-wise... i'll probably want to end up spending less than 700 for a guitar + case. I've been looking into the epi elitists, which from what I've heard are SEXY guitars with great craftsmanship and nice sound. Anyway, MF is busting these guys out for 650 with a hardshell case and no shipping. First off, who owns em, and for those who do, pros and cons? Also, pics would be greatly appreciated to compare the different finishes. I'm going to GC this weekend to try some out with my friend, to see if I actually like playing em. In the meantime, ill keep dreaming. Please post up guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members chiro972 Posted May 5, 2005 Members Share Posted May 5, 2005 I'd say that's a pretty good price since it includes the HSC. I have an Epi LP custom (not elitest) and I like it a lot. I would say go down there and play them. If you find one you like then jump on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tennisdude Posted May 5, 2005 Author Members Share Posted May 5, 2005 crap these are hard to find at GC? damn. well, i was thinking about trying out some normal Epi's anyway, so i'll give it a shot. Is it worth paying the extra 200 or so to upgrade from a Epi studio to an Epi custom? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SixkillerNYC Posted May 5, 2005 Members Share Posted May 5, 2005 You'd be well served by checking out Edwards and Tokai instruments as well, although you may have an even harder time trying to find examples to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tennisdude Posted May 5, 2005 Author Members Share Posted May 5, 2005 Yeah, i've heard tokai's are hard to find (not sold in US, only canada, right?) Any epi elitist owners want to comment? I would really love pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members misterhinkydink Posted May 5, 2005 Members Share Posted May 5, 2005 The Elitist LP that MF has is a Studio, which I like, but you can get a used Gibson LP Studio for not much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members batotman Posted May 5, 2005 Members Share Posted May 5, 2005 Or you could just get a Tokai for $500 with the same shape! I love mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
