The Epiphone Elitist Casino features a single piece slim taper "D" profile mahogany neck, traditional headstock with no inlay, "Elite" or "Elitist" on the truss rod cover and parallelogram fretboard inlays. This model is frequently confused for the limited run '65 Elitist Casino and can be differentiated by the truss rod cover, which will say "Elite" or "Elitist", and metal saddles on the tune-o-matic bridge. The '65 Elitist has Epiphone's "E" logo on the truss rod cover, and uses Delrin plastic saddles.
