I just registered after looking at your site for a while; I was searching the net for El Degas and found one listed on Kijiji in Belleville, ON. I'm in Arkansas, so maybe one of you members of this site that can get to Belleville might like to check this one out:

It was posted on the 13th (yesterday). Looks pretty cool; nice price. Good luck!

It's priced well.

That'll be the bolt-on model.

Someone in ON, go check it out!

Gone!

Not surprised, at that price.
Probably would have gone just as quickly at $200.

Congrats to the shadowy unknown figure that bought it... perhaps they will end up here when they try to figure out just what the hell they just bought

That's an El Degas 680. I have an identical one which I got new in Ottawa in 1981, and that's what it said on the receipt ($213!). I just recently got its bass twin for $150 and the sticker on that said 686 - Made in Japan.I will be posting up the story and pictures soon in the Show and Tell section...

BTW, it seems to be back up for sale:

Thanks for chiming in - I look forward to seeing your guitar on the forum soon.

I should be able to put up some pictures tomorrow afternoon. BTW, I love your "Impossible Mission" avatar - it seems I spent as much time in 1984 playing that game on the Commodore 64 as I did playing my El Degas - talk about a nostalgia trip! "Another visitor... Stay Awhile... Stay FOREVER!!!"

Some of the best days of my childhood were spent in front of the C-64. Best game ever... or perhaps tied with "Flashback" from 1992.
I still fire both games up on the emulators nowadays for a spin.
