Les Paul "The Paul" copy on eBay

You don't see these often. "The Paul" is a version of a Les Paul with a flat-topped mahogany body and neck (no carved maple cap). You get a slightly darker sound than a standard Les Paul.

Here's some info on "The Paul": http://vintage-guitars.blogspot.ca/2006 ... -paul.html

I have the set neck version, it's a very cool setup.
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)

Could be a good 'un.
Matsumoku made a beautiful set neck version under the Aria Pro II and I think the Vantage label too. (Don't think this one's a Mats though.)
Does yours have the pickup selector wa-a-a-y down with the vol/tone pots Charles?

Yup, plus two mini toggles for a bunch of tonal choice.

Here is my set neck version:
