I was surfing around the used guitar sales and ran across this EPI Elitist Gent at Elderly. I think it's a decent price. I played one of these for a long time one day at a local music store and I think it is a great guitar. I believe they had USA pickups in them, even though they were made in Japan. I just thought I'd post the link.
