I have one! It's my go-to axe. The gold isn't a perfect Goldtop copy but it comes from Fuji-Gen and the attention to detail is marvelous. I changed mine out to black trim as it looks better to me. That's it. If you check the revues for Gibson Custom 1957 Goldtop you'll see the Elitist is rated higher. I rest my case.
