Re: El Degas made in Mexico?

I've seen no evidence of ED guitars made in Mexico, but I seem to remember once seeing a classical model with a tag that said Made in Guatemala... I do not have the images of that one any more. I think a user on the forum first reported it.

You must host the image at an image hosting site such as Imgur or Photobucket to post. See the sticky post in each forum section for more info.
Do you have a link to the sale listing?

Re: Newbie question

You need to use an image hosting service and then post an image link to the photos you place on that service. See the pinned thread at http://www.eldegas.com/forum/viewtopic. ... a0a488d0c1

Re: Purchased a "Mint" 70's MIJ El Degas Strat

Congrats! I'm pretty sure that with that headstock style and the hang-tag the guitar is almost certainly a Made in Japan model. I don't have any specific tip on things to look out for – with guitars this old, everything will come down to how well it plays. Judge it as you would any axe in terms of t...

Re: El Degas GB-26

The deal with the GB-22 is that's the later MIK model. I had one, it was definitely not up to par with the more deluxe MIJ ones.

Re: El Degas GB-26

I would love to have one of these GB-26's in-hand to inspect for myself. It's so hard to go off of low res images on the internet!
