What kind of El Degas guitar is this? Looks like a beauty. I don't want to get scammed. And is it worth my time & money?

Please help.
Thanks!

Just be aware that the guitar is a classical, which is different than a normal acoustic; in that it usually is strung with nylon strings and plays and sounds differently.

I do not have hands-on experience with the El Degas classicals, not my style. $100 is a very decent price if it's in good condition.
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)

Looks to be in good condition judging by the single picture. But as charles cautions, if you're not familiar with classical guitars they can be somewhat awkward to get used to.

They do demand a different style of playing than a typical steel string acoustic, with a wider, flatter fretboard and higher action. And they do sound very beautiful.
