I felt that it might be late 60's (though it could also be very early 70s) because of the rounded end of the fingerboard (where the fingerboard meets the guitar body), which was often a sign of the very early MIJ copies.
Not sure who's manufactured 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.
El Degas stable as of 03/2022: 42
(13 bass, 26 electric, 3 acoustic)

I guess the best thing to do is to play it, which I am going to do on Thursday. It might be a sweet vintage axe or might be a junky piece of shit - will report back!Thanks Charles and Barry!!!

How the instrument plays is always the best yard-stick to judge it by - best of luck!

Re: Les Paul Copy MIJ (CAN)
Changed my mind and did not play the Raven. I decided I don't need "just" another guitar - I'm going to save up and buy one more really nice MIJ LP...this seller does have a nice looking solid maple body and neck El Degas as Barry pointed out at the beginning of the thread...may check that out next week.charles wrote:How the instrument plays is always the best yard-stick to judge it by - best of luck!
