The first letter of your Elitist SN should be F for "FujiGen" (where they work the magic). The first number will be the year that it was made - mine are both "F4" and are 2004 models. You can also use the serial date project website as well. CONGRATS on the new guitar - can't wait to see pix!
hey dice! i just bought a epi elite custom(black). after all the raving you have done about these guitars, i have to say you were right on the money!! man she is nice!!!
question: how do you date them. does the dater project work on these? thanks!
