Setneck Black Beauty

Post by fakeox »

Hi! Anyone know about this? The headstock parallelogram is different than the other LPCs in the forums. The red bolt on was said to be a 74 Maybe this is early 70s? The electronics (pots, switch) need work but their is hardly a mark on the whole guitar. Fretwear on the 1st 3 frets only, rosewood board, medium weight, & really resonant.

Logo style tells me that's a later (very late 70's or more likely from the 80's) MIK model. Should have said "MADE IN KOREA" on the back of the headstock... (may have been removed or perhaps they did not put it on)
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)

Interesting that it has the long neck tenon! If it's like my MIK set neck (LP Standard copy), the body is ply... :? Yours may not be, however.
