    El Degas Guitars

    Anyone have any? I love them. I want to buy some more.

    I currently own two El Degas basses. One's a Fender Prec clone, the other a great Ricky 4001 fireglo clone.

    El Degas guitars are MIJ clones from the lawsuit era, and not a lot exist anymore; as the story goes, the factory burnt down in the late 70's/early 80's, taking a large number of guitars (being bult, and a large number that had been recalled for a pickup problem) with it.

    If anyone has any for sale that are in decent shape, contact me! (I'm only interested in electris guitars & basses)

    If you just want to show off, post yer pics. I'm going to be building a website with all known info on these babies sometime this year, so I'd love to see your photos!

    Yes, they were produced in Japan.

    Most of the info on the company is sketchy, but that's what I've been told (both on the burnt-down factory and the Fuji Gen Gakki connection)...

    Alot of their designs were identical to those that other FGG names were producing, like Grecko and Ibanez.........

    Maybe you're thinking of the Japanese Matsumoku factory, where all sorts of stuff was built. Go here for lots more:

    I started out with a white El Degas LP copy. Bolt on neck, action so high you needed a hammer to play it. I don't regret selling it after I got my Gibson.

    My friend/guitar mentor just sold his El Degas ES 175 clone. It was NICE. I'm sure some of their models were good and some weren't but I've seen both his ES175 and another local player's ES335 clone and they were great guitars.
