PRICE DROP $1,449.00
Natural 2003 Epiphone Elite Sheraton Semi Hollow Archtop Made in Japan
Alot of bang for the buck!
First year of the Elite Elitist line of guitars 2003-2008. Apparently Ovation guitars didn't like Epiphone using the "Elite" name. Copyright infringement. So the change to "Elitist".
Excellent Condition; My luthier cleaned her up, polished the frets...... D'Addario NYXLs 12s.
The bridge appears to be have been replaced with nylon saddles. The guitar has been played and very well taken care of. IMO the combination of age and being played has made the tone most excellent for this guitar.
Note: There is a bump in the top of the headstock. It was touched up. You can't see it in the front or back headstock photos. Also, there is a very small, 2-3 1/16", strait scratch at the f-hole on the base side. Apparently you can't see it in the photos.

I recognize that guitfiddle!

This is my favorite guitar of all time. Almost kinda sorta want a second one, just in case. Not like that many of them are out there.

Many thanks to DMgolf66 for selling this guitar to me! A fantastic seller and highly recommend by myself.

Referring to Shipping weight I believe!

That would make more sense. Shipping weight would also include the case. And remember-all that bubble wrap is HEAVY! Originally Posted by jads57

I wonder if it's possible to find original saddles or a replacement bridge for this guitar?
-
I suppose so. I replaced my entire bridge, because I wanted a different alloy. It's metric. I forget if the original was gotoh, but I have a vague recollection that it was Japanese made and not the regular Gibson one. Which is a plus for me.
Also, quit trying to get me to buy this guitar, I already have one
I'd love to mod it but don't have the heart to, given their relative rarity. But some filter trons might be cool. Even full humbuckers just to have a way better 335. But they are so cool and special as is. Truly the best guitar ever.

Imperfections mentioned.

Such a great guitar and plays so well, even for a beginner like me.
-
It's such a nice guitar.

Ugh

Lots of interest on Reverb. But I hate it and would much prefer a forum member to buy it. Why? Keep it in the family and buy it back down the road! Originally Posted by DMgolf66

I don't have calipers to measure the neck. However, on line website reports first fret .83 and the 12th fret .91. Originally Posted by Rhythmisking

To be honest I really didn't notice the neck profile so much because of how it sounds and plays.

F**k me if that was in Europe I would take it immediately.

Nah, I would have bought it 2 months ago if it was in europe Originally Posted by kekkuli
