Wow - that label is a new one!

It is pretty blurry though, can you focus in on it?

I won't be able to give you much info on it - there are really no records, serial numbering, etc. for this brand. I also know very little about the classical models... I've seen MIJ, MIK, and even Romanian-made ones :!: so it's hard to know what you're looking at other than the info on the sound hole label.

Hello jiff2519 and welcome!
Thanks for the pictures, that's a wonderful looking guitar! :)
As Charles said the label is completely new here. I haven't seen a mention of Terada in association with El Degas before.

Terada was a Japanese instrument maker in the 60's apparently, and they did some manufacturing under different labels for different companies, including it looks like, El Degas! Your guitar would appear to be Japanese, but we'd really appreciate a clear picture of the label inside the sound hole.

Here's some information on Terada and some classical & steel string guitars it made:
