Looks familiar! 
I don't think I ever asked you how she sounds 'amplified'.
You know, as I look at it, I realize that the back is made up of one piece of wood that has been sectioned off by the inlays! Try finding a piece of Jacaranda that big today!! Truly spectacular.

Wow, you sure don't see them like that every day. Very nice!
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

Re: mid 70's El Degas MT19R
It plays like a dream especially acoustically but it sounds great even as an electric. I had the electronics installed (parts and labor) for $125. I use D'Addario J17 (med gauge) Phosphorus Bronze strings on it. I have tried many (but for sure not all) different brands but found these to be the best sound and longest lasting of all the ones I tried.
