They've had this bad boy out in the wild before Wade Hampton. I'd like to get m hands on one and see. They also didn't last long--the Elitist Sheraton, for example, quickly became hard to find. Mark Forums Read. Hope that makes sense. I keep hoping that the nut is a botched spec Specs say mahogany, but that grain looks more like sapele. I'm thinking these will be similarly scarce. The Japanese didn't want solid wood JE's - they wanted accurate reproductions built out of laminates. Wade Hampton Miller. I'd be interested in this one. I would be interested to play one of these. So I suspect that the nut width and adjustable ceramic saddle on these re-issues have at least as much to do with the demands of the Japanese guitar market as they do with ours. I can't count the times I've walked past Japanese karaoke clubs and seen and heard half-intoxicated Japanese salarymen, faces ruddy, suit coats off and ties askew, warbling "Yesterday" into a microphone.

Can't wait to find a retailer and give one of these a try as there was a lot I loved about the "Inspired by" Texan but ultimately it just didn't do it for me unplugged. Howard Klepper.

Despite their reputation for questionable quality here on the AFG, I have a soft spot for Epiphone acoustics for which I have no reasonable explanation. Would love to know if anyone sees one of these in the wild. I've played a few of the Epi Elitists or their forerunners, the "Elites" and they were extremely well made. The song "Yesterday" is popular everywhere, but in Japan it's an ongoing phenomenon. In Japan, those features might be really sought after, especially the narrower nut width. Even when Gibson Montana was making all-solid wood JE's for the American market, the ones they built for export to Japan had the same laminated woods that the originals had.

Epiphone elitist acoustic as much as some of us might like to see a period incorrect fixed saddle or a wider fingerboard, if it ain't original spec, it isn't going to happen.

Wade's theory is an excellent one: these guitars may be aimed at the Japanese market. That's what the Beatles' JE's had. Rmz76 Registered User. Wade Hampton Registered User.
