The frets are in very good condition with only mild playwear.

The pickups made specifically for the Elitist by Gibson have a great tone with good output. This guitar is equipped with high quality electronic components and Grover tuners. This instrument uses the highest quality woods and an construction methods with great attention to detail. Overall this instrument has an upgraded sound and a feel of quality that separates this SG Elitist from a "regular" SG. This is as close to an actual Gibson as you can get. Looks, plays and sounds great.
