Looking for my old El Degas LP

Post by jkingma »

This is a picture of my old El Degas LP that I sold in Ontario Canada many years ago. I traced it back through the next few owners but lost track of where it went after that. I would really like to get it back if it still exists and is available.

The pickups had been switched out to a set of Dimarzios and I had installed an on board overdrive unit. There was also a coil cut switch for the bridge pickup that you can see in the picture.

Help me find my baby.

Best of luck in your search.

It is often hard to tell one of the El Degas Les Paul copies from another... the Dimarzio/mini toggle upgrade is common. Hopefully you are able to find it.
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)

More likely that the seller poached the photo for their listing rather than take one of their own.

Does it have that same pickup config of the cream Dimarzio in the neck position and a black pickup in the bridge?

A lot of El Degas come with those crazy yellow-fur filled cases! I have quite a few in my basement. :lol:
