El Degas

LP Recording

Walnut stain

 

1970's

Made in Japan

Fully bound body & neck

Bolt-on neck

Some of the electronics need contact-cleaning

Hate to see it go but i have no room

 

El Degas was a brand of guitars made in Japan and then later in Korea for Beugeleisen & Jacobsen in New York, NY for sale in Canada (later sold to Kaman Music). I have other El Degas guitars for sale - I have many El Degas guitars and have been looking at their history for some time. www.eldegas.com/forum

 

You won`t see another one of these anytime soon - very cool guitar

 

$349 + shipping OBO

Pots:

Master Volume

Tone (might be some sort of treble boost?)

Treble tone

Bass tone

 

Switchplate:

Phase switch

Tone selector switch

 

3-way switch in the normal place

 

I don't really know the in's and out's of all of the controls. I really am more of a set it and play kind of guy.

 

Some of the electronics need work (whether it warrants just a little contact cleaner or replacement, I'm not 100% sure)

I do believe the guitar sports some chambering - the top is very resonant - you can really feel the vibration of the strings.

 

Nicks and dings that you'd expect on a 30+ year old guitar. I've photographed the biggies.

 

I ran out of high e strings so it's currently strung with the other 5

Buyer will likely put on a different gauge than me anyway.
