Default Any Epiphone Elitist Owners?

Hi there,

I am wondering how many others own an Epiphone Elitist guitar which were made in Japan in the mid 2000's and then discontinued and brought back in limited supplies a few years after that. The link below is me playing my 2007 Dot. Post your epi elite guitars. Id love to see them!

Great playing, Joe. Are you a jazz guitarist?

I can't add anything about Elitist Epiphones since I'm not familiar with them.

No photos, but I own a elitist 63 dot in sunburst. Choose over a few 335’s and a couple of other epic elitist. It was definitely the best of the bunch and still the only electric I have kept (except my Tele, but everybody should have one of those).

I have a 2010 Epiphone Broadway Elitist made in the Terada factory. Japanese market Epiphone Elitists have the openbook headstocks that you don't find in USA market Elitists. My Broadway Elitist has the classic Epiphone Vine of LIfe headstock.
