'Overall, the Elitist Les Paul is an excellent guitar, very playable, toneful and satisfying, and at $799, a real bargain among what we consider to be exceptional Les Paul models.'
Like us, you'll find yourself wondering how $750 can add up to such a top notch player that sounds so good right out of the solid Elitist Case.' The fret work is excellent, and the bone nut has been expertly cut. 'The Elitist plays smooth and easy with a great feel along the length of the fingerboard and good vibrations generated from pick attack. 'Tonally, the Elitist sounds very good indeed, bright and full on the bridge pickup, full, bright and rich with both pickups combined, and adequately bassy with good treble definition on the neck pickup.' 'The Elitist is made with a highly figured spruce top, mahogany, and our guitar feels like a Gibson in every regard, from the '59 neck shape to the excellent fret work and perfect set up.' 'The finish color (although not nitro), top figure and general quality of maple and mahogany are fully comparable to any guitars made by Gibson.'
