el degas guitar information requested

[fjstl@hotmail.com]

I have an El Degas acoustic guitar that is in excellent condition. I've had this since the early 70's.The inside label lists it as an El Degas, Modelo 80. It also has an RH 21 listed inside the guitar, at the top left portion on the El Degas label. No other serial numbers are listed. It was made in Japan and that small label is listed on the neck portion of the guitar.

I've searched everywhere to determine its value which is why I'm reaching to anyone on this forum who can help. If a photo is needed, then I will send one.

Thank you for your assistance.

What you have is what would later become the CL- series. These are classical acoustic guitars; not knowing much about classical guitars these have never appeared to be copies of other brands like the other acoustic models are.

I tend to see these selling between $50-150 depending on condition. You might expect to get a little bit more since yours is an earlier Japanese guitar.
