The Elitists' use the finest wood and hardware. The electronics and pickups are Gibson parts. I have the Elitist LP Standard Plus. I'll always keep it.
If anyone is interested in buying the Les Paul ELITIST Plus top let me know. I have one in great condition! Sounds like a HIGH-END GIBSON. Only difference is the finish!
the materials used to create the guitar, and the quality of the electronics as well all influence a guitars sound. Elitists have somewhat better electronics than that of the normal epiphones.
As for the craftsmanship, just because it was made in japan doesn't make it better, same goes for american.
Judge a guitar with your ears not with your eyes. personaly I love epi elitist series, used to have one till it got stolen. It sounded amazing...
In my experience I like better the pick ups on the Gibson (although the Epi has Gibson pick ups too), specially the neck p up wich I felt was too dark (tough great for woman tone)...There's really not much difference. The main difference is the nitrocellulose finish on the Gib wich makes the neck slower than the Epi but the feeling somehow more vibrant and the looks pretty more vintage.
Not bad.. but still very very far from my Gibson Les Paul Studio.

Amazing right hand technique there. Those fast metal rhythm parts were very well done. Awesome playing.

@BubbaxEEL : Elitist's had gibson pickups. Top quality wood and all top quality electronics. I't s basically a Gibson guitar made in Japan.

Where did you find that finish? Might be the camera, but I have the elitist and it's more orange/yellow rather then red/yellow..
