Hi,
anyone know how to identify this model exactly? Only got vague ideas:
There is a Floyd-Rose Trem i did not expect
and the toggle switch
position is odd, as is the fork machine head shape.
Any inputs welcome |

Welcome to the forums Helmut!
I'm sure someone's going to identify that guitar. It's an E'lite, but I guess you know that already.

Based on the headstock and serial number, I'd guess that it's a mid-90's Tropical-era/pre-Elliott E'Lite. Or Caddy variation.
Brian or Jay should be able to more accurately identify it.
Looks nice!

Tropical era with the shrimp fork headstock, I would say Korean by the serial number.

Yep, Korean made Tropical. Id say earlier than '96. Probably more around 93-94. I think by '96 they were using either the big V or the duckbill on the Caddy/Elites. |

duckbill on the E'Lite, and the V headstock on the Caddys.. |

Mine meets all criteria for a Cadillac 7ply body,5ply headstock, gold hardware and it definitely is a 1996 with a duckbill headstock.
