Designed for the professional musician, the Elitist line from Epiphone combines over 125 years of instrument building experience and expertise with the finest materials. The results are instruments of impeccable quality and beauty.
The Elitist Wood
At the heart of every great instrument is the wood itself. That’s why every piece of wood used in the Elitist line is hand-selected. It is then slowly and painstakingly dried to perfection in custom kilns until it is at the ideal moisture content.
The Elitist Necks
All Elitist necks are cut at a 14 degree grain orientation from one piece of wood for optimum strength, stability and tonal response. As with all great instruments, the necks are then carefully and individually fitted to the body using a hand-glued, dovetail neck joint.
The Elitist Bodies
All Elitist bodies are made from the finest tone woods such as African Mahogany and individually selected for their weight and tonal qualities. They are then cut and bookmatched to perfection.
The Elitist Pickups
All Elitist instruments are equipped with custom-wound pickups “Made in the USA” exclusively for Epiphone by Gibson Musical Instruments and feature such uncompromising features as:
- High Quality Cover Materials – All pickup covers use quality German silver with vintage Nickel or real 24K Gold finish.
- Four-Conductor Wiring – Allowing for all possible wiring combinations.
- Full Wax Potting – Every pickup is potted in a special wax bath to insure that microphonic feedback due to internal vibration is eliminated. All covered models receive a second wax bath to further protect the pickup.
- Specially Made Magnets – All magnets are magnetized by Gibson to ensure the total reliability of each magnet’s performance. Critical magnetic flux is maintained for the perfect combination of output without sacrificing tonal characteristics.
The Elitist Hardware
All Elitist instruments feature the finest hardware including precision Grover™ machine heads for precise tuning accuracy and stability.
