I just picked up an elitist, and that isn't the same headstock shape - I think that is an older Japan/Epi from before they moved production to Korea and then China. The Elitists have kind of a rounded hump in the middle of the top of the headstock instead of the dip that Gibbys have.

Beautiful guitar though - I'd like to get my hands on an old Japanese made Epi Custom one of these days.
