That model is a copy of the Telecaster Thinline, and it's a beauty! :D
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)

Just a beauty, in wonderful condition!
"Thinlines" are lovely guitars to play. Very comfortable, with a gorgeous tone thanks to the hollow wing under the F hole. Kinda like the best of both a solid body and an acoustic electric.

Thank you for confirming my beliefs I have owned it from new and it is about 40 years old, give or take.
I am considering selling her.

That is Jeff Martin from the Tea Party. He borrowed my guitar once in a awhile when he was in town, where I live.
