| Hi guys,
I saw this on e-bay-
Custom Elite?
And I was wonering if anyone could shed a little light on whether this guy has his identification correct.
Thanks |

The bottom of the fretboard and the lack of dots on the bridge look right. Label seems to be missing.
Ask the Seller about the label and a serial number. |

Location: Minden, Nebraska | Doesn't look like a Custom Elite; no abalone in sight. I can't tell from the pictures if it is a shallow or deep bowl, but it seems to be the latter. That would make it an older 1768, or an older 1868 if shallow. Probably a sweet guitar if the deep bowl. Not the easiest case to find, though. |

| I don't think it's a Cutom Elite. The maple fret markers are the right style for an Elite, but the new CEs have abalone fret markers and perloid tuner buttons. This looks like a Model 1718 based on the bowl depth visible in the pics. That's not a bad price at all for a deep-bowl Elite. |

By the way, welcome to the club. Some of us actually have lives, but you might not guess it from the number of posts we add each day. |
