Please do not confuse this guitar with the MIK Epiphone 335.
This is a MIJ guitar of world class quality. Gibson USA pickups from the factory and all final set up done in Gibsons plant in Tennesee.
It is a fantastic guitar and is every bit the guitar a $3,000 Gibson 335 is. Some say the fit and finish is actually better, but I won't get into that..
It plays soft and low, and sounds like a good 335 should. Check ebay prices on the Elite/Elitist Epiphone semi hollows and you'll see my price is great on this. This is an early model Elite, later on they were called Elitist.
They have been discontinued, as Gibson was losing money on them from what I have read.
Many buyers chose them over US built Gibson guitars.
The quality is world class, on the same level as say a Yamaha, SA 2200, or an older Ibanez AS 2000 Schofield model etc.
The case is as good as any I have ever seen too.
Guitar is in remarkable condition.. Virtually unplayed.
Before making up your mind, do some research, check ebay and user reviews on the web.. If you can use a serious high end 335, and don't want to pay Gibson prices, or vintage Ibanez prices, this could be the one. The pics are not great, but you'll get the idea.. $750 + shipping... bob
