Description
The Elite is the crown jewel in our Heritage solid body lineup. The Elite features a unique single cutaway body design with a contoured back and crescent neck junction allowing better access to the top of the fingerboard and lessening the overall weight of the guitar. The Elite features nearly every high-end appointment that the discerning player might want to see. The Elite is built with a solid Mahogany body, topped off with a solid 3/4 inch carved slab of Canadian maple in AAA Grade Flamed and Sunburst finish. To properly accent this stunning top, we added a rectangular Mother of Pearl and abalone inlay design on a bound ebony fingerboard, and 3 stripe binding on the top of the body. As if that weren’t rich enough, we topped it off with all nickel hardware and a pair of Seymour Duncan Humbuckers, ’59 in the neck and a JB in the bridge. The Elite remains in a class all its own.

Clive Scott (verified owner) –
Just got this beauty and can’t wait to gig with it. Fit and finish superb. Tuning stability excellent, and I bend a lot. Set up and intonation perfect. Pickups are great – love the tone and volume response on everything from smooth clean to funk to heavy crunch. Sustains forever. It is a bit heavier than my Strats and SG, but I’ll get used to it. This guitar is just immensely playable. I’m in love.

As a former LP owner and player I can say the Heritage out plays and performs and of the shelf LP on the market today. Perfectly dressed and set up from the factory. Excellent tone and sustain. G string stays in tune!
