Epiphone Les Paul Elitist Custom--Rediscovered

[ZMAN]

That's a beauty!! I had an Elitist LP Standard for several years that I also acquired when MF was blowing out the last of their stock. Outstanding guitar, certainly rivaling (or surpassing) US-made LP Standards. I sold it when I bought my R9, otherwise I'd still have it.

I have a question for you. When you received your guitar from MF did it come with the Elitist case? Mine came with a case with the "Epiphone" logo, but not the "Epiphone Elitist" logo that I have seen on others. I figured either is was a return for a bad or broken case, or they swapped them with a cheaper case to make more money. The guitar was flawless.

I'm pretty sure it came with an Elitist case. I have several photos of the guitar but I can't find one of the case, so I can't confirm it, but that's my strong recollection.
