MINT El Degas ES 335

Post by thornbush »

The condition of this one is amazing....whenever you buy a guitar on line and have it sent across the country, you have a certain degree of anxiety over it's condition while you wait for it, this is heightened in the few moments before you open the case..........when I opened this one and lifted it out, turning and inspecting every inch, I could not find one single imperfection.....it is absolutely mint condition....yet the frets show the wear a guitar of this age should have. This guitar was lover and taken care of it's whole life. Even the original case is perfect. Playability? More of the same.....What did I do to deserve this...I guess it's making up for the couple of duds that people lied about, one from Calgary and one from North Bay...both are gone now. Just shows that you have to keep trusting and not get jaded. Other than those two they've all been great......

That's a real beauty... :shock:

I have that same model, but mine is not perfectly mint like yours. Great score.
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.

El Degas stable as of 03/2022: 42 :shock: (13 bass, 26 electric, 3 acoustic)

Holy cr@p that's nice! (And I say that as an owner of a vintage Gibson ES330)

DiMarzio's though? Maybe a tad too hot for this model methinks.

Definitely. But, that's apparently what came stock on these... blame Ace Frehley!

Hi Thornbush,

I would trade my LP Gold-top for your 335 in a heartbeat. My gold-top is in beautiful condition,perhaps a finer one could not be found? However it is not mint. Remarkable shape, but small flaws here and there...
