El Degas was a Japanese-made guitar label distributed in North America by New York–based Buegeleisen & Jacobson (B&J), with instruments sold primarily in Canada and the northeastern United States during the 1970s and into the 1980s. The brand name was created in Paris by brothers Gérard and Jean-Luc Charnoz in 1972, and production was contracted out to Japanese factories — Hoshino is commonly cited, with Terada also building some mid-1970s models — before later acoustics moved to Korean and other overseas builders.

The lineup was wide-ranging for a budget-tier import: solid-body electrics and basses built as copies of Gibson and Fender designs (often grouped as the El Dégas Replica Series), dreadnought and classical acoustics, plus mandolins and banjos. Like many "lawsuit-era" Japanese imports, the electrics included Les Paul-, SG-, Stratocaster-, Telecaster-, and Rickenbacker-style models, and a number of acoustics carried the ED-prefix model designation (e.g. the ED-250 classical).

El Degas instruments went out of production during the 1980s. B&J was eventually absorbed into Kaman Music's Canadian operations, and the trademark itself later passed to Fender Musical Instruments. Today the guitars circulate on the vintage market, where the better Japanese-built examples have a following among collectors of MIJ copy-era instruments.
