Yes, always err on the side of many more photos
If you wish, you can put
before and
after the URL of your photos they'll show up right in your post.
So for example:
Code: Select all
[IMG]http://www.photobucket.com/youralbum/yourphoto.jpg[/IMG]
will make your photo appear in the post.

Hi folks
I shall endeavor to get some more pictures up here, though I am still in the dark ages with a 35mm and running to get film developed. One of these days I will have to get me a digital camera. It`s neat how different lighting environments changes the appearance of these gold-tops. It was dark when delivered last night and seeing her in the morning light was a different trip. Plays super nice. Bolt-on neck...I can live with that. No indication regarding country of origin? I like to think it`s Made in Japan?
My first guitar was a very low quality Mann Les Paul copy I bought in `79 or `80. Then came my El Degas Stratocaster, white with a hardshell case for $300 new I think? It was a real nice guitar during my formative years. I shall dig up some old photos and post sometime soon.
Nice to discover your El Degas site Charles !!

I think all the the gold tops I've seen are MIJ.
