I haven't had the chance to play this one yet, but its 45 mins a way. Might be able to haggle them down a bit, but how much would you pay for this? doesn't seem to have a flaw

I bet you could get it for lower than that dice. Beautiful guitar! Love the natural dots.

they have it listed for 1099, but I still think its a bit high for to have a big USED stamped on the Headstock. Well when I play it, that'll determine if I have to have it or not.

I think that the Used mark is only a couple hundred bucks off of the price when new.

$1k is a fair price for a MIJ Elitist hollow body.

Hopefully they do lay away and deposits, otherwise I won't be able to get it, but Elitists tend to sit around here in Bama for a while. There is a red LP custom Elitist in GC that has been there for months

That thing is gorgeous. If it plays great, I'd be willing to pay a high percentage of the new price, personally. The "used" stamp is a technicality.

Yeah that 12 string looks nice. I liked the this line in the guy's discription, ""Sold-As-Is. No Returns. I guarantee the quality of the items I sell."" WTF does that mean?

might be because its used and hence, the factory doesnt guarantee it at all.

I do this in my ebay ads just so no one may want to return it because they decided later that they don't want it. The stuff I sell is quality but I don't offer a return policy just because its a hassle. There's nothing wrong with the stuff I sale, I just want people to be sure they want before they click buy it now

But what's the "guarantee" if the buyer can't return it?

I guess the guarantee is the persons seller rating? I have 100% and they can see the comments my buyers have left, so I guess it depends..

I usually just put "In perfect working order, but sold as is"

Exactly. You kinda have to be able to back up what you sell. Just "Saying" its quality stuff doesnt tell the customer that by not accepting returns.

Hello Yogi,

Those Elitist guitars are great guitars.
It looks good in the photos try and get it's original case.
so with case I'd give 900 - 950 ex condition.

Best of luck on the purchase.

Cheers.
