Lol.. Let me tell you something about Orville by Gibson..
At one point of time, the qualities were sooo good, it surpassed Gibson's quality..
Hence, production was stopped.. :mrgreen: Get the point?
Orvilles are great too btw.. Both are meant for the Japanese market I think..
Neither is "better", as it is entirely subjective.. I honestly feel my Epiphone is better than most new Gibsons out there..
And as for price.. Gibson VOS > Gibsons > Orville by Gibson > Orville > Epiphone Elitist > Epiphone

re:
Theres a good amount of info on the net about these guitars. Basically, the main difference are
1. OBG - nitocellulose finish. Orville - Poly
2. OBG - USA hardware Orville - Gotoh
3. OBG - better wood
OBG are the premium line and hence more costly than Orvilles which are the economic line. But make no mistake both are quality guitars. An orville should cost less than elitist though.
My advice to get it locally if possible. Try it out first before u decide to buy it.

As luck would have it, we have an Orville by Gibson in Blackwood at the moment. Standard LP in tobacco burst, some nickel tarnishing, couple of small dings on the side but the top is clean.
Most who have tried it (its our test guitar for effects/amps) have had praises for its tone.
Come, see, feel, try! Very attractively priced.

Orvilles have been out of production since the 90s so your only hope is to get a 2nd hand model in good condition. Standards usually have rosewood boards and chrome hardware, while Customs are more 'bling', with gold hardware, ebony boards and diamond inlays on their headstocks.
If you want to get a Les Paul, I highly recommend you check out the Edwards at Davis. Google 'ESP Edwards'. They have nitro finishes (some models), Duncan pickups and you can buy them new if you are picky about the condition. The Orvilles, while well-built, have rather substandard pickups and usually call for a replacement set.
