Re: Very Vintage El Degas fender P-Bass Copy (CANADA)

I still have a 1978 fender Pre Bass the same colour. I bought it brand new.Been playing since 1965 and had many "gits" during that time. I have an acoustic GL31 El degas, and by what I have seen over the years they make a underrated guitar. Put it out there for 500bucks and see what you get. By the ...

Model GL 31 circa 1974

I picked up my El Degas up in Labrador City back in 1974. It cost $175.00 new with case. I got it for $50.00. This person needed some quick cash and the guitar was only 4 months old.
