Unfortunately it is impossible to provide a definitive answer since there is no surviving info on the serial numbering system. It is believed the F- models are among the early acoustics for the brand so it may be late 60's or very early 70s, but this is only an "educated guess".
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 :shock: (13 bass, 26 electric, 3 acoustic)
