I recorded 4 songs with my band Bishops Green and used the ElDegas for most of the tracks. I used an Agile Goldtop with my modified p90s for some rhythm tracks too. I am more than happy with the sound that I squeezed out of it! The pickups were the secret ingredient. I have a whack of good guitars I ...

Well wherever it was made is really not the point. The important thing is that there are very nice sounding and playing guitars available for a small fraction of the price of a big name Guitar like Gibby or Fender. I love Japanese guitars from the 60s to the 80s and kinda take pride in not playing ...

Correction, the tone of my ElDegas is very much like James Williamson from Iggy and the Stooges album Raw Power. Ron Asheton had switched to bass on that album. I saw a recent interview with Jim Williamson where he talked about his unmistakeable sound being due to the low DCR of the bridge humbucker ...

I just had a practice with the ElD and it was a nice surprise. I ran it through a tricked out '72 Traynor YGL3a head with a detuned Avatar 4X12 cabinet pushing 2 Celestion V30 speakers. I got a pretty close approximation of Ron Asheton from the Stooges tone on the song Search And Destroy on the high ...

That wine red one you have is in really nice condition! I think it's the same one as the one at my Jam Space. There are very subtle differences between them. The headstock has a slightly different logo. On yours each letter is independent. On mine the letters all connect and the inlay is some kind ...

I meant Pots when I said it had big "Caps".

The pickups have the number 290130 inked on the bottom of the base plates. No other discernable markings are visible and both pups are identical other than the mounting rings. Both pups are the same height. All of the wiring in this guitar is grey including the pickup leads. The tone caps are green ...

Nice guitar! I doubt if a used bigsby would fetch 300 bucks but El Degas Guitars are not worth a lot in dollars. They are worth buying but not selling. I would keep it unless you really need some cash and I would not expect to get more than 300 to 350 dollars as there are a lot of good japanese ...

Another thing this thing sports is fret nibs on the neck binding! That is not something you typically find on a cheapo knockoff. There is no binding on the headstock just on the fretboard and on the top. The bridgeposts are the skinny ones you find on Gibsons too so I can't replace the bridge with ...

It is definitely MIJ because that's stamped into the neck plate. It was a funny coincidence to find an almost identical one sitting at my jamspace. I like mine better as it's heavy and solid. I'm a fan of heavy LPs. Noswiss cheeze holes for this guy. I want a slab of mahogany with 1/2 inch of maple ...

Hello all. I picked up an ElDegas LP copy that weighs a ton. I traded a 50 dollar lamp for it at my friend's vintage shop. I just filed down the frets and adjusted the neck as it was bowed not warped. I replaced the bridge saddle with a spare and replaced the knobs on it. I took it to practice and ...
