I waited quite a while...

There may be some here that remember I had made some queries into the Elitist '57 Goldtop, by Epi.

Well, I retired this year...after 30 years, and finally ordered one as a retirement gift for myself (good an excuse as any)! They've actually been backordered since November '07...and finally came in stock.

It should be here in a day or two. I'm pretty excited!

Congratulations Eman. I hope you enjoy your goldtop.

Eman, congrats!! Congrats on the retirement too! I'm really excited for you. Don't forget to post pics once you get it. Enjoy my man, enjoy!!

I could say that you don't look old enough to retire judging by your avatar but my dad told me never to lie.

Congrats on getting your dream Goldtop and all the time in the world to play it.

I'd rather have a Goldtop than a gold watch for retirement.

Thanks a lot for the commeents, and congrats folks!

I'll be 53 on May...but them 401K things really add up!

I'm not a huge fan of HB's...but just really dig them gold geetars. I've got one the Elite (former Elitist) DOT 335s, and it is one nice guitar. Shouldn't expect any less from the new one.

Is there such a thing as an Elitist pre-57 goldtop? I do love my p90's, but the Gibson reissue is a little too spendy.

Congrats on the retirement man!!!!!
I wish I could be doin' the same, but no such luck here.

Great gift for all those thankless years of slavery, eh, I mean service.

You are my idol being able to retire at 53! Great Job!

The only issue with my new found no work plan is...it's kinda odd, after so many years of the same thing, to adjust to not having to do anything. But I reckon that's not too bad a 'problem', considering the alternative.

P90's - There's just that one Epi Elitist GT, the others are variants of the LP line. However, Yamaha made a really neat, inexpensive P90 guitar a while back. Inexpensive meaning in the $300 range. I bought one, and was fairly amazed at how cool it was.
