I also find it a little frustrating when a seller sites a piece of literature found in the case and then expounds on it as the products name. Happens with the "Shadow" in hole pickups. Nice guitar though. | ||

It is a very nice example of an Elite, tho... hmmm... naw, I'll stick with my LX. | ||

I recognize Slipkid in there outbidding me (Brad was courteous enough to ask me how badly I wanted this guitar and I told him to 'go for it'), but have no clue who 'muzzlightyear' is. Sorry, Brad, but be consoled that it didn't end up as the bargain that it seemed it might be. | ||
