Trying to find a year

Post by Sigcan »

Recently picked up a degas mt9stbe. All I know about it is it's Korean made and bought in the 70s or 80s in Ottawa from a long closed store (cant remember the name). Can anyone give me a little more????

Very little concrete information exists of the brand and the serial numbering system was abandoned completely, so giving specific manufacturing dates is basically impossible.

It is believed the MIK (Made in Korea) are from the 80s and later.

MT- models are copies of Martin acoustics.
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)
