Well hi all my first experience with el degas was my first guitar was an sg copy...rose wood with black pick guard broken at the neck cause it fell off a stand i payed 20$ dollars ...at the time I was 15....my Grand father the master carpenter repaired it flawlessly...it played perfect by good guitarists at the time...but my guitar playing never blosomed ...so i sold it for ...get this...350 $...lol...pretty good huh...not really...miss that first el degas...so later became a pretty good drummer.....oh well....so ...looking for a guitarist to start a band...no prob...but the guitarist too broke to buy one...i went out and purchast a el degas strat copy...off white in colr...he used it for two years ...then left my band....I kept the guitar of caurse....the guitar plays well...but fore some reason when we play it live as a second choice it feeds in the stage monitore...why??? i have no idea....so thats my el degas story...oh...and some where in there i also had a el degas fender copy...black finish and put in newer pickups...great bass...loved it...but sold it....sucks to be me....

Thanks for sharing!

(Dontcha hate it when that happens?)
I might be blowin' smoke up yer kilt but the feed back sounds like it might be due to the pickup going microphonic via the vocal mics or amps?

I don't know your model but if it has something like a vintage P90 PU that might be the reason. My '64 Gibson has P90's and they're great..but they can get real touchy around mics or amps and feed back like crazy. On stage the acoustic geometry and dynamics can get weird real quick. Be sure your guitar amp is not directly facing directly into an open vocal mic.

Just a thought.
Hey, any chance of a picture?

Cheers!
