Any of you know how many Lefty El Degas were around in the day?..I remember seeing some when I was young, and would LOVE to come across one now...but I was wondering if they were more plentiful Lefty El degas that other guitar companies back then ...

Ooooo, I doubt you'll find many of those.
Lefties are hard to come by with guitars still being made today, so I doubt there are a lot changing hands in this old defunct brand.
If I do come across any I will certainly make a post about them on this forum to let people know, since I'll have no interest in snatching it up myself

LOL.....sure thing...lol..
I'm a southpaw so I've been flipping guitars around since day one. I can play a normal lefty, re-string a righty, or just flip a righty upside down and play that way too...lol...I learned all my chords growing up up-side down.high E on top...it was a pain, but I flipped out all my freinds keeping up to them playing backwards..lol..soloing was even better...lol..
Too bad, a lefty El Degas would be sweet!
Hey, here's another question...Did El Degas make any resonators or lap steels by any chance? what about Ukes....?..I'd love an old ED Ukelele!

Are you Dick Dale?
He plays his gits lefty upside down, and is one of the greats.
I haven't seen any ukeleles, but there are mandolins and banjos to be had - I think I've seen some for sale lately if you want me to post some links...

Doyle Bramhall II is another fantastic upside down lefty...he's still touring with Clapton right now as far as I know....his Daddy used to write and play with SRV....
