Can I chime in with my Elitist SG? I love this guitar...the neck, weight, electronics, etc. However, I changed the hardware to Gold to match her Black Beauty 3 cousin. Also, I installed Seth Lovers.

Just to join in the the Elite/Elitist Love...
Here is a pic of my Elite 02' Honeyburst, Between this and my 07' I don't know which I luv the best as the both play so sweet and are beautifully built.
GAS took over me after joining MLP and I knew at the very least, that I had to have a couple of Elitist in my stable and one had to be a plain-top, plus they seem to be getting harder to come by especially in the UK.

I'll take any excuse to share pics of my Elitists.
Here is my all time favorite guitar; an Elitist LP Studio found on Craigslist

A lot of guitars have come and go but this one's stayed with me since I bought it.
Yeah, that's about perfect. Want.

Is this the one from Japan on Ebay? I kept drooling over that. I loved the guy's description that "it has a bruise under the pots."

Here's my other Elite Les Paul, another Craigslist find. She's been a case queen this year because I have no room to play with my toys. Been building a house since May and will have a room just for my guitar stuff when I finally move in. Starting bringing some stuff over there so had the chance to bust her out today and snap some pics. Sorry this batch of pics looks very washed out for some reason...

I just love those Elitist Pluses! Just enough flame to look classy, instead of "over the top."Here's my other Elite Les Paul, another Craigslist find.

Why, Thank you! 2 of my passions in one picture, but Polfus came up from Florida only needing a setup, whoever owned it before I did musta tried the "fretless wonder" thing with it...the action was way too low, but other than that, was nigh-on perfect. I only did what I did because when I tried to pull the amber knobs off, they all came willingly...except one. Pulled the knob...and the guts of the pot as well. Had some Stew-Mac stuff kicking around I was gonna use for a Les Paul kit build, which never progressed past shaping the ebony veneer for the peghead...anyhoo, I rewired everything in the Florida guitar, ala as-close-to-a-'50's config as I could with what I had handy, along with the "open-white" PAF copies, gold reflector knobs and thumb-cutters, Grover 18:1 Keystone Tuners, and what you see is the finished product. I am of the conviction that this guitar, in it's present form, will be the closest I ever get to playing a coveted '59 'Burst...sounds pret-ty damned close to my ears...
