I've played these. The most Gibson-esque of virtually any non Gibson out there. They really went all out on these and they stopped making these. They're treasures.
Good luck with the sale.

Thanks, Jimmy! I just have too many guitars (difficult to actually say that) and got tired of the Reverb and CL approach to selling. So, I'm going the consignment route now.

It is a real treasure. Every time I would open the case I think how great it looks. And it has a nice jazz tone with a touch of grit with the neck pickup and then with the bridge pickup you can do just about anything with it. Will probably regret selling it, but I'm trying to be less emotional about the guitars I have.

I have the Elitist Broadway and these are fine fine fine pressed solid spruce top guitars. Plugged in, there's nary a difference to their Gibson forebears.
