All good bro!

I did find the Elitist pups to be a little bit on the thin side - putting in some Vitamin Q caps really cleared that up for me, though!

Call me crazy - but I like the Elitist head stock second only to the real thing. Most other "copy" brands that use an original headstock are just f'n ugly!

Heritage has a terrible one - I'd be quite tempted to get one if they had a reasonable headstock! So, I see where you're coming from. I don't mind the Elitist headstock at all, though.
