About the Elite

The Elite is an all Curly Maple guitar that has fantastic sustain and punch. The Ebony tailpiece gives a little more warmth and woodiness to the tone of the guitar allthough if you do alot of string bends I think you'll be happier with the stop tailpiece. It's a very versatile guitar but I think it's best for Rock and Blues. The all Curly Maple lends itself beautifully to the different sunbursts.
