Doesn't hurt! It'll be the most activity on this forum in years

Well hello there! Thought we'd all gone fishing did you? :lol:
Sorry that your post kinda got lost in here, no disrespect intended.

That said, I'm not going to be of much help.
She's a beauty but because el Degas was a small run white label brand it could have been made by any one of several ...

So, I just scored this for $250 CAD today. All original more or less, original case. Thing is in great shape. Plays phenomenally, it honestly rivals some American made strats I've played. Sounds ...

This guitar is red with a matching headstock and basically is near mint condition. Bought for only $100 Canadian, the guy I bought ...

Oh wow I had this exact guitar, I think you actually bought it off of me. heh.
