I got this locally for very little money. I need to replace the switch and find a witch hat knob. Other than that it plays and sounds great, really impressive. The finish has some definite wear. Anything anyone can tell me about it would be greatly appreciated. To me it looks like a 1973 Ibanez 2352 Custom but the "humbucker" pickup is different and so is the truss rod cover.
What you have there is a 70s EL Degas copy of a Fender Tele Custom,
interesting to note: I also have one of these but it does not have the "bullet" truss rod like yours, but rather a standard TR with cover.
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 (13 bass, 26 electric, 3 acoustic)
