I bought it second-hand in 1983 and it has served me wonderfully over the years in a variety of recording projects. It's been my go-to guitar, ahead of a lot of better known names, because of its wonderful, flexible sound and smooth feel. I think the El Degas MIJs at least are hidden classics on par with or better than many other MIJs and in some cases the originals.
Can anyone tell me if it is meant to be a copy of the Les Paul Custom, a Standard, or whatever? Just curious. . . .

My Les Paul Copy
Re: My Les Paul Copy
I think the diamond headstock inlay signifies that this is a LP Custom copy, if I remember correctly.
Thanks for sharing it!

I started ElDegas.com many years ago to help celebrate and inform about El Degas instruments. It all started with a used Ric 4000 bass copy I bought in circa 2000.
