Re: My 1st El Degas:It's a Telecaster

Re: My 1st El Degas:It's a Telecaster

Beauty!

Not sure how it will compare with your other guitars - the proof is in how it plays. I hope you enjoy your new guitar.

Thanks Charles! This tele looks similar to the '72 Ibanez 2352(except the Ibanez has the output jack located on the control plate).
